Dual Gold 6126 12-core server for virtualisation

The PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack system fitted with two Intel Gold 6126 processors running at 2.6GHz, each providing 12 cores and 19.25M cache. It ships with 128GB of DDR4 memory arranged as eight 16GB PC4-2666 modules. The chassis supports up to eight 2.5-inch drive bays.

H730P RAID controller with six 800GB SAS SSDs

The H730P hardware RAID controller manages the six installed 800GB SAS SSDs, delivering hardware-accelerated redundancy and consistent I/O latency for database or virtualisation workloads. The Intel X550 network daughter card adds two 10Gb RJ45 and two 1Gb RJ45 ports for flexible uplink configuration. iDRAC9 Enterprise provides full out-of-band remote management with virtual console and lifecycle automation.

Rails and bezel included for standard rack mounting

The server ships with sliding rails and a front bezel, allowing direct installation into a standard 19-inch rack without extra kits. Dual 1100W redundant power supplies are pre-fitted, so only power cords need connecting. No optical drive is present, so operating-system deployment relies on network boot or USB media. Buyers who need more than eight 2.5-inch bays or a different drive interface should consider other chassis options.

Questions about this item

How often should the 800GB SAS SSDs be checked for wear?

SAS SSDs have no moving parts, so routine wear checks are not required; monitor the H730P controller logs for any media errors.

What limits sustained throughput first on the H730P RAID controller?

The H730P PCIe Gen 3 interface and 12 Gb/s SAS lanes set the ceiling for continuous write bandwidth across the six 800GB drives.

How much power do the dual Gold 6126 CPUs and six SSDs draw under full load?

The two 12-core Gold 6126 processors at 2.6 GHz plus six SAS SSDs are supported by the 1100 W redundant PSUs, which also handle fan and memory power.
