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 2.6 GHz. Each CPU delivers 12 cores and 19.25 MB of cache. The system includes 32 GB of DDR4 memory in a 2 x 16 GB configuration. It is designed for dense compute workloads in a standard rack environment.

Dual 10 GbE and H730P RAID for Virtualisation

Six 960 GB SAS SSDs are managed by the H730P RAID controller, providing high-throughput storage for virtual machines or databases. Network connectivity uses an Intel X550 adapter with two 10 Gb RJ45 ports and two 1 Gb RJ45 ports. Up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots allow GPU or additional NIC expansion. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise for lights-out administration.

8-Bay Chassis Limits Internal Storage Growth

The chassis supports a maximum of eight 2.5-inch drive bays, of which six are already populated. Buyers who need more than two additional drives must attach external storage. The server ships with redundant 1100 W power supplies, rails, bezel and power cords. No optical drive is fitted. Export eligibility restrictions apply.

Questions about this item

What speed does the PCIe Gen 3 interface cap the eight expansion slots at in practice?

Each slot runs at PCIe Gen 3 speeds, so the eight slots share the bandwidth and latency limits of the Gen 3 standard.

What physical space must a rack provide for this 2U chassis with eight 2.5" drive bays?

The server occupies 2U of vertical rack space and requires a standard 19-inch rack with enough depth for the chassis and included rails.

How is the H730P RAID controller installed, and what step is often missed?

The H730P comes pre-installed; the step often missed is creating the virtual disks in the controller BIOS before installing the operating system.
