Dual Intel Gold 6126 processors with 128GB DDR4

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Gold 6126 CPUs running at 2.6GHz, each providing 12 cores. It ships with 128GB of DDR4 memory arranged as eight 16GB modules at 2666 MT/s. The chassis includes eight 2.5-inch drive bays, an H730P RAID controller, dual 1100W redundant power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management.

Virtualisation hosts and database nodes needing

This server suits workloads that benefit from high core counts and large memory capacity in a compact rack footprint, such as virtualisation clusters, in-memory databases or high-performance computing tasks. Buyers who need more internal storage bays than eight 2.5-inch slots, or who require PCIe Gen 4 connectivity, should look at a different platform.

H730P RAID controller with two 300GB 10K SAS drives

The installed H730P controller manages the two 300GB 10K SAS drives in a hardware RAID configuration. This specification determines whether the storage performance and capacity meet the application requirements before additional drives are added.

Questions about this item

Does the server ship with rails, bezel and power cords, or must they be ordered separately?

Bezel without LCD, rails and power cords are included in the box.

Should I choose the 128 GB DDR4 configuration or add more memory for virtualization workloads?

The unit arrives with 128 GB DDR4 across 8 slots of 16 GB PC4-2666, leaving room to expand up to the platform maximum.

What sustained throughput can I expect from the two 300 GB 10 K SAS drives behind the H730P controller?

Each 300 GB 10 K SAS drive delivers typical 10 K RPM performance; the H730P RAID controller manages both drives in hardware RAID 0 or 1.
