Ready-to-deploy 2U rack server

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 arrives configured with dual Intel Gold 6126 processors, 512GB of DDR4 memory and two 960GB SATA SSDs behind an H730P RAID controller. It targets IT teams that need a validated platform for virtualization, database or general-purpose workloads without assembling components themselves.

Sustained multi-threaded throughput

Twelve cores per socket at 2.6GHz and sixteen 32GB PC4-2400 modules keep all threads fed during extended compute runs, while redundant 1100W supplies maintain uptime if one unit fails. The 2.5-inch drive bay layout supports up to eight devices for future capacity growth.

Pre-installation checklist

Confirm the rack provides 2U space and adequate airflow for a 2U chassis, and verify that the on-site network can use the Intel X550 dual 10Gb RJ45 and dual 1Gb RJ45 ports. Ensure an operating system license compatible with the installed hardware is available, and note that the unit ships without an optical drive.

Questions about this item

How much power will the dual Gold 6126 CPUs and 512GB DDR4 draw under continuous load with the 1100W redundant PSU?

The server uses two 2.6GHz 12-core Gold 6126 processors and 16x 32GB DDR4 modules powered by dual 1100W supplies; exact sustained draw depends on workload but the redundant design maintains operation if one unit fails.

Which rack rails, cabling and PDU outlets are required to install this 2U chassis with eight 2.5-inch bays?

The package includes sliding rails, bezel and power cords; you must provide a standard 19-inch rack with 2U space, two PDU circuits for redundant power and network patch cables for the four RJ45 ports.

Will my existing PCIe Gen 3 expansion cards fit the eight available slots alongside the Intel X550 10Gb and 1Gb network ports?

The system offers up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots; the on-board Intel X550 provides two 10Gb RJ45 and two 1Gb RJ45 ports without consuming a slot, leaving all eight free for your cards.
