Server platform

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Gold 6126 processors, each running at 2.6 GHz with 12 cores. It ships with 32 GB of DDR4 memory in two 16 GB modules and a PERC H730P RAID controller managing two 300 GB 10K SAS drives. iDRAC9 Enterprise provides full remote management.

Fit for purpose

This server suits workloads that need dual-socket compute density, hardware RAID and 10 Gb Ethernet in a compact rack form. Buyers who need more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays, a different drive interface or a GPU-heavy configuration should consider other platforms.

Deciding specification

The eight 2.5-inch drive bays and H730P controller define the storage capacity and RAID options available. If the application demands more bays or a controller with different features, this chassis will not meet the requirement.
