DELL PowerEdge R740 2U 2x Gold 6126 12C 64GB 4x 1.2TB SAS H730P

Dell PowerEdge R740 2U Dual Gold 6126 Server

This 2U rack server ships with two Intel Gold 6126 processors, each delivering 12 cores at 2.6GHz. It includes 64GB of DDR4 memory across four 16GB modules and four 1.2TB 10K SAS drives managed by an H730P RAID controller. The platform targets virtualisation hosts, database nodes and compute clusters that need dense processing in a standard rack footprint.

Rack Depth PCIe Gen 3 Slots iDRAC9 Enterprise

Verify that your rack provides enough depth for a 2U chassis and that the 1100W redundant power supplies match your PDU connectors. The system offers up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots, so confirm the physical length and height allowances for any add-in cards. Network integration relies on the Intel X550 dual 10Gb RJ45 and dual 1Gb RJ45 ports, which require compatible switching infrastructure.

Sustained Load 10K SAS Drives Redundant Power

Under continuous workloads the four 10K SAS drives deliver consistent throughput for mixed read-write patterns typical of virtualisation and transactional databases. The H730P controller maintains parity calculations without throttling during extended rebuilds or background scrubbing. Redundant 1100W power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management keep the platform available for monitoring and recovery during prolonged heavy utilisation.
