Dell PowerEdge R740 Server

This 2U rack server ships with dual Intel Gold 6126 processors, each delivering 12 cores at 2.6GHz. It includes 32GB of DDR4 memory and four 7.68TB SAS SSDs managed by an H730P RAID controller. The system targets enterprises needing dense storage and compute in a compact chassis.

Suits virtualisation hosts and database clusters

The eight 2.5-inch drive bays leave room for four more SSDs, while up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots accept additional network or accelerator cards. Buyers who need GPU density, larger memory footprints or fibre-channel connectivity should evaluate other platforms.

Fits standard 19-inch racks with included rails

Dual 1100W redundant supplies power the board and drives. The Intel X550 NDC provides two 10Gb RJ45 and two 1Gb RJ45 ports for immediate networking. iDRAC9 Enterprise enables remote firmware updates and console access without a local KVM.

Questions about this item

What rack space must be available to install the 2U R740 chassis?

The server occupies 2U of standard 19-inch rack height, so reserve two rack units before mounting it.

Will the Intel X550 network controller operate at 10 Gb speeds over my existing Cat 5e cabling?

The X550 10Gb RJ45 ports require Cat 6a or better to reach 10 Gb; on Cat 5e they will fall back to 1 Gb.

How can I confirm the H730P RAID controller sees all four 7.68TB SAS SSDs after first boot?

Open the iDRAC9 Enterprise console, navigate to Storage, and verify that all four drives appear in the Physical Disks list with the correct capacity.
