Purpose-built compute density

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 packs dual Gold 6126 processors, each with 12 cores at 2.6 GHz, and 512 GB of DDR4 memory across 16 modules. This 1U rack server targets organisations running virtualisation clusters, database workloads or high-throughput applications that demand strong multi-threaded performance in a single rack unit.

Enterprise chassis and connectivity

Eight 2.5-inch drive bays hold 1.92 TB SAS SSDs behind an H730P RAID controller, while up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots remain available for additional accelerators or network cards. The integrated Intel X550 controller delivers two 10 Gb RJ45 and two 1 Gb RJ45 ports, and iDRAC9 Enterprise provides dedicated remote management without consuming a data-plane interface.

Ready-to-rack deployment

Redundant 1100 W power supplies, sliding rails, a front bezel and power cords ship in the box so the system can be racked and powered immediately. The configuration arrives with firmware updated and components tested, removing the usual burn-in step before production workloads begin.

Questions about this item

Does the PCIe Gen 3 interface on the R740 cap the throughput of the H730P RAID controller?

The H730P connects through PCIe Gen 3 slots, so its maximum bandwidth is limited to the Gen 3 lane speed available in the chassis.

What rail kit and clearance does the 1U R740 need to mount in a standard rack?

The 1U chassis includes sliding rails; it fits a standard 19-inch rack and requires one rack unit of vertical space.

How are the 16 DDR4 DIMMs installed, and which population rule is often missed?

Install all 16× 32 GB DDR4 modules across both processors following the balanced-channel sequence shown on the system board label.
