Dell PowerEdge R740 Dual Gold 6126 Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Gold 6126 processors, each with 12 cores at 2.6GHz. It ships with 256GB of DDR4 memory across 16 modules and a PERC H730P RAID controller managing two 7.68TB SAS SSDs in the front bays.

Suits Virtualisation Hosts Needing Many Cores

This configuration suits teams building virtualisation hosts or database nodes that benefit from high core counts and redundant 1100W power supplies. It does not suit buyers who need more internal drive bays than the eight 2.5-inch slots provide or who require an optical drive for media installation.

256GB DDR4 Memory Across Sixteen DIMMs

The system includes 256GB of DDR4 memory installed as sixteen 16GB PC4-2666 modules, filling every available slot on the dual-processor board. This capacity determines how many virtual machines or in-memory databases can run simultaneously before any upgrade is possible.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.5-inch 7.68TB SAS SSDs work with my existing H730P controller in an older 2U rack?

Yes, the H730P RAID controller in this R740 supports SAS SSDs in the 2.5-inch drive bays, so the installed drives are compatible with that controller generation.

How can I verify the dual Gold 6126 processors and 256GB DDR4 are recognised after first boot?

Open the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface or enter the system BIOS; both will show two 12-core CPUs at 2.6GHz and 16 DIMM slots populated with 16GB PC4-2666 modules totalling 256GB.

Does the shipment include rails, power cords and the front bezel, or must I order them separately?

The package includes sliding rails, a non-LCD front bezel and power cords for the dual 1100W redundant supplies; no extra parts are required for basic rack installation.
