2U Rack Server with Dual Gold 6126 CPUs

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Gold 6126 processors running at 2.6GHz. Each CPU provides 12 cores and 19.25M cache. The system includes 128GB of DDR4 memory arranged as eight 16GB PC4-2666 modules. Six 1.2TB 10K SAS drives are installed and managed by an H730P RAID controller.

Suited for virtualisation and database workloads

This configuration suits environments that need balanced compute and fast SAS storage in a compact 2U form factor. The eight 2.5-inch drive bays allow expansion up to two additional drives. Buyers requiring more than eight drive bays, an optical drive or GPU-ready power budgets should evaluate other platforms.

Eight 2.5-inch drive bays limit internal storage

The chassis provides a maximum of eight 2.5-inch drive bays, and six are already populated with 1.2TB SAS disks. This physical constraint determines how much additional local storage can be added without external enclosures.
