DELL PowerEdge R740 2x Gold 6126 12C 256GB 2x 300GB SAS H730P

Ready-to-deploy rack server

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 arrives as a 2U rack system with dual Intel Gold 6126 processors, each running at 2.6 GHz with 12 cores and 19.25 MB cache. Memory is fully populated with 256 GB of DDR4 across 16 modules rated at 2666 MT/s. Two 300 GB 10K SAS drives are installed behind the H730P RAID controller, and the chassis provides eight 2.5-inch drive bays for expansion.

Suited for dense virtualization

This configuration targets environments that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a compact 2U form factor. The redundant 1100 W power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management support continuous operation. Buyers who require more than eight drive bays, integrated optical media, or GPU-accelerated compute should evaluate alternative platforms.

Eight 2.5-inch drive bays set the storage ceiling

The chassis is limited to eight small-form-factor bays, so total raw capacity and drive-count scalability are fixed by this physical constraint. The H730P controller manages the installed SAS drives and any additions within those eight slots. Network connectivity is provided by an Intel X550 NDC with two 10 Gb RJ45 and two 1 Gb RJ45 ports, and up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots are available for add-in cards.
