Dual Silver 4210R 10-core CPUs

The PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Silver 4210R processors, each running at 2.4 GHz with ten cores and 13.75 MB cache. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 memory across eight 16 GB modules. Six 480 GB SATA SSDs are installed and managed by an H730P RAID controller. The system targets organisations that need dense compute and storage in a standard rack footprint.

1100 W redundant PSU and iDRAC9 Enterprise

Dual 1100 W power supplies provide redundancy for continuous operation. The iDRAC9 Enterprise module gives full remote management including virtual console, power control and hardware monitoring without needing the host OS. Front-to-rear airflow across the 2U chassis keeps thermals stable under typical workloads while the redundant fans maintain uptime if a single unit fails.

Eight 2.5-inch bays with six populated

The chassis offers eight 2.5-inch drive bays; six are filled with the supplied SSDs leaving two bays open for expansion. Up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots support additional network cards, accelerators or storage controllers. The integrated Intel X550 adapter delivers two 10 Gb RJ45 and two 1 Gb RJ45 ports for flexible networking. No optical drive is fitted, freeing internal space and power budget for other devices.

Questions about this item

How do I install the two Silver 4210R processors in the R740?

Align each CPU with the socket keys, lower it gently without force, then close the retention lever; the heat-sink latches must click onto both posts so pressure is even across the die.

What maintenance will the 1100 W redundant power supplies need later?

Dust the fan intakes every six months and replace a unit only if the iDRAC9 Enterprise log reports a fault or the amber LED stays lit.

Which limit appears first when the 6x 480 GB SATA SSDs run sustained writes under the H730P controller?

The SATA interface and the controller write cache saturate before the NAND wears out, so throughput drops to the drive sequential ceiling.
