DELL PowerEdge R740 2U Rack Server 2x Xeon Silver 4110 2.1GHz 512GB DDR4 8x 1.2TB SAS H730P

Dual-socket 2U rack server for compute density

The Dell PowerEdge R740 fits two Intel Xeon Silver 4110 processors in a 2U chassis, each running at 2.10 GHz with eight cores and a 3.0 GHz turbo frequency. Sixteen registered ECC DDR4 modules provide 512 GB of memory across 24 available slots. Eight 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives connect through a PERC H730P controller that supports RAID levels up to 60. A quad-port network daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links, while iDRAC 9 Enterprise handles remote management.

Redundant platinum power supplies manage thermal

Dual 750 W platinum-efficiency power supplies operate in redundant hot-swap mode, sharing the load of two CPUs, 512 GB of memory, eight spinning drives and the storage controller. The 2U form factor uses front-to-rear airflow to move heat across the memory and drive bays without requiring oversized fans. Power supply redundancy means a single unit failure does not interrupt operation, and the platinum rating keeps energy loss low during sustained workloads.

Tool-less rails and front bezel simplify rack

Ready Rails allow the server to slide into a standard rack and lock without tools, reducing installation time for solo technicians. The front bezel covers the eight 2.5-inch drive carriers and the power button, preventing accidental drive ejection in dense rows. Hot-swap drive bays and redundant power supplies can be serviced from the front and rear respectively, so failed components are replaced without removing the chassis from the rack.
