Built for dense virtualisation

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 packs two Intel Gold 6126 twelve‑core processors and 512 GB of DDR4 memory into a 2U rack chassis. Eight 2.5‑inch drive bays and up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots give room for growth. Dual 1100 W redundant supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise keep the platform running and remotely manageable.

Front‑access storage and networking

Eight hot‑swap bays hold the two installed 7.68 TB SAS SSDs on the H730P RAID controller, leaving six bays open for expansion. The integrated Intel X550 controller delivers two 10 Gb RJ45 and two 1 Gb RJ45 ports for high‑throughput and management traffic. No optical drive is fitted, maximising bay space.

512 GB DDR4 in sixteen 32 GB modules

Memory is populated across all sixteen DIMM slots at PC4‑2400 speed, so any further increase requires replacing modules rather than adding them. Buyers needing more than 512 GB of RAM must plan for a full memory swap.
