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, each running at 2.6 GHz with 12 cores. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 memory across eight 16 GB modules and includes four 960 GB SAS SSDs managed by an H730P RAID controller. The chassis supports up to eight 2.5-inch drive bays and provides up to eight PCIe Gen 3 expansion slots.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

This server fits organisations that need a dense, dual-socket platform with integrated 10 GbE and 1 GbE networking, redundant 1100 W power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management. Buyers who require more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays or a different drive interface should consider other configurations. Teams without rack infrastructure or those seeking a tower form factor will not be able to use this chassis.

H730P RAID controller with four 960 GB SAS SSDs

The H730P controller manages the four installed 960 GB SAS SSDs and can support additional drives within the eight-bay chassis. Its feature set determines which RAID levels and caching options are available for the deployment. If the application demands a specific RAID capability not offered by this controller, the server will not meet that requirement.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.5-inch drive bays accept my existing SAS SSDs?

The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch bays and the H730P controller supports SAS SSDs, so your current drives can be installed in the four empty slots.

How can I verify the dual Gold 6126 processors and 128GB DDR4 are recognised after first boot?

Open the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface or enter the BIOS; both will show two 12-core CPUs at 2.6GHz and eight 16GB PC4-2666 modules totalling 128GB.

Does the shipment include rails, bezel and power cords, or must I order them separately?

Rails, a non-LCD bezel and power cords are included; the redundant 1100W power supplies are already installed in the chassis.
