2U Rack Server with Dual Gold 6126 CPUs

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Gold 6126 processors. Each CPU runs at 2.6GHz with 12 cores and 19.25M cache. The system ships with 64GB of DDR4 memory in four 16GB modules at 2666 MT/s and six 120GB SATA RI SSDs installed in an 8-bay 2.5" chassis. An H730P RAID controller and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management are included. Dual redundant 1100W power supplies, rails, bezel and power cords complete the package.

Suited for Dense Virtualisation.

This configuration suits environments that need high core counts and fast network I/O in a compact 2U form factor. The dual 12-core processors and 64GB DDR4 handle virtualisation, database and container workloads efficiently. The Intel X550 NDC provides two 10Gb RJ45 and two 1Gb RJ45 ports for demanding network traffic. Buyers who require GPU acceleration or large local storage capacity should consider other platforms, as the chassis offers no GPU clearance and only two drive bays remain free.

H730P RAID Controller Decides Storage Flexibility

The installed H730P controller manages the six 120GB SATA SSDs and provides hardware RAID for the 2.5" drive bays. Its feature set determines which RAID levels and drive types are supported for future expansion. Verify the controller specifications against your storage plan before purchase.

Questions about this item

What does the 2.6GHz base clock on the dual Gold 6126 CPUs mean for real-world throughput?

Each processor runs 12 cores at 2.6GHz with 19.25M cache, giving two sockets of predictable performance for multi-threaded workloads.

How does the PCIe Gen 3 interface on the H730P controller limit the six 120GB SATA SSDs?

The H730P connects over PCIe Gen 3 and manages six SATA SSDs; the bus provides ample headroom for the SATA interface speeds.

Will the 2U chassis with eight 2.5-inch bays fit my standard 19-inch rack and leave room for two more drives?

The R740 is a 2U rack server with eight 2.5-inch bays; six are populated with 120GB SSDs and two bays remain free for expansion.
