DELL PowerEdge R740 8SFF 2x Xeon Silver 4210 512GB DDR4 No Drive

PowerEdge R740 8SFF dual Xeon server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mount server populated with two Intel Xeon Silver 4210 processors running at 2.2 GHz and 512 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It includes a PERC H730P RAID controller and an integrated 10 GbE two-port 562T adapter for high-throughput networking. The chassis supports up to eight 2.5-inch SATA drive bays and ships with dual 750 W power supplies. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 with an Enterprise license.

Suits virtualisation hosts needing dense memory

This configuration fits workloads that benefit from twenty total cores, a large DDR4 footprint and built-in 10 GbE connectivity without adding a separate network card. The eight-bay 2.5-inch layout works well for SATA SSD arrays managed by the H730P controller. Buyers who need more than two sockets, GPU compute slots or fibre-channel connectivity should evaluate a different platform.

Eight 2.5-inch SATA bays define storage capacity

The chassis provides exactly eight front-accessible 2.5-inch drive bays wired for SATA through the PERC H730P controller. No drives are installed, so the buyer selects capacity and redundancy to match the application. If the deployment requires more than eight drives or a different drive form factor, this server cannot accommodate it.
