2U Rack Server with Dual Gold 6126

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Gold 6126 processors. Each CPU delivers 12 cores at 2.6 GHz with 19.25 MB cache. The system ships with 32 GB of DDR4 memory in two 16 GB modules and four 300 GB 10K SAS drives managed by an H730P RAID controller. iDRAC9 Enterprise provides remote management.

Suited for virtualisation hosts.

This configuration fits organisations that need dense compute for virtualisation, database or general application hosting in a standard 2U footprint. The eight 2.5-inch drive bays allow storage expansion, while up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots support additional network or storage adapters. Buyers who require GPU acceleration, more than 32 GB of memory pre-installed, or a different drive interface should evaluate other configurations.

H730P RAID controller

The installed H730P controller manages the four 300 GB 10K SAS drives in a choice of RAID levels. Four empty 2.5-inch bays remain available for adding capacity or performance tiers. The controller choice determines which drive types and RAID options are supported, so verify that the H730P matches your storage architecture before purchase.

Questions about this item

How do I install the Intel Gold 6126 processors into the R740, and which step is most often missed?

Align the CPU notches with the socket keys, lower the processor gently, then close the load plate and torque the four captive screws in a cross pattern; the step most often missed is torquing the screws evenly, which can leave the CPU unevenly seated.

What maintenance will the 1100W redundant power supplies need later?

The hot-plug 1100W units are designed for tool-less replacement; keep the air intake filters clean and swap a failed module without powering down the server.

What limit appears first on the H730P controller during sustained write workloads?

The H730P write-back cache can saturate under heavy sustained writes; adding a supported cache backup module or spreading I/O across the four 300GB 10K SAS drives reduces the bottleneck.
