Dell PowerEdge R740 2U Server
The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon Silver 4210 processors running at 2.2 GHz. It ships with 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller supporting SAS drives. The 8SFF chassis provides eight 2.5-inch drive bays, and remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise.
Suited for virtualisation hosts needing high core
This configuration suits virtualisation hosts, database servers, or compute clusters that benefit from 20 total cores and a large DDR4 footprint. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, more than two processor sockets, or storage interfaces other than SAS should consider different platforms.
Dual Xeon Silver 4210 at 2.2 GHz defines compute
The pair of 10-core Xeon Silver 4210 CPUs sets the baseline for thread count, cache size, and single-thread frequency. Memory can scale to 3 TB of DDR4, and the PERC H730P manages RAID across the eight SAS bays.

Questions about this item
What rack depth and height does the 36 x 24 x 10 in chassis require?
The chassis measures 36 in deep by 24 in wide by 10 in high, so the rack must provide at least 36 in usable depth and 10 in vertical clearance for a 2U fit.
How are the two Xeon Silver 4210 processors and 384GB DDR4 installed, and what step is often missed?
Both CPUs are pre-seated in their sockets; the 384GB DDR4 ECC registered modules fill the DIMM slots — ensure each processor bank is populated evenly or the system will not post.
Which drive components will need replacement when adding storage to the 8SFF bays?
The PERC H730P RAID controller and 2.5 in SAS backplane remain; you add SAS drives and may later replace the 750 W power supplies if redundant capacity is required.
