2U Rack Server with Dual Gold 6126 CPUs

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for compute-dense workloads. It ships with two Intel Gold 6126 processors, each running at 2.6 GHz with 12 cores. Memory capacity reaches 512 GB of DDR4 across 16 DIMM slots. Eight 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives connect through an H730P controller.

Suited for virtualisation hosts

This configuration fits teams running memory-heavy virtual machines or transactional databases that benefit from high core counts and fast SAS storage. The 2.5-inch bay layout limits total drive count to eight. Buyers who need more storage bays, GPU acceleration or different drive interfaces should evaluate other platforms.

Eight 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives on H730P

The storage subsystem centres on eight 2.5-inch 2.4 TB SAS drives spinning at 10K RPM behind a PERC H730P RAID controller. This combination determines usable capacity, IOPS ceiling and redundancy options. Verify that the drive count and interface match your application requirements before purchasing.

Questions about this item

How does 512 GB DDR4 perform in a live R740?

16 modules of 32 GB PC4-2400 DDR4 give 512 GB total, letting the dual Gold 6126 CPUs keep large data sets in memory for database or virtualisation workloads.

What does the H730P controller cap in practice?

The H730P RAID controller manages the eight 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives with hardware RAID and 2 GB cache, setting the storage performance ceiling for this chassis.

What rack depth and rails does the 2U R740 need?

The 2U chassis fits standard 19-inch racks; included sliding rails mount in square or threaded holes and support tool-less installation in compatible cabinets.
