DELL PowerEdge R740 2x Gold 6126 12C 32GB 2x 120GB SSD H730P

Purpose-built rack server

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server configured with two Intel Gold 6126 processors, each delivering 12 cores at 2.6 GHz. It ships with 32 GB of DDR4 memory in two 16 GB modules and a PERC H730P RAID controller managing two 120 GB SATA RI SSDs. The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch drive bays and up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots for expansion cards.

Fit for dense compute, not for massive local storage

This system suits buyers who need dual-socket performance in a compact 2U form factor with integrated 10 Gb and 1 Gb Ethernet. Organisations requiring extensive internal capacity beyond eight 2.5-inch bays or those needing an internal optical drive should evaluate alternative platforms. The included iDRAC9 Enterprise licence simplifies remote lifecycle management for distributed deployments.

The eight-bay SFF chassis sets the storage limit

Eight 2.5-inch drive bays define the maximum number of internal drives this server can hold. The PERC H730P controller supports RAID across those bays, but the physical bay count cannot be exceeded without external enclosures. Buyers planning larger direct-attached arrays must account for this constraint.
