2U rack server with dual 12-core CPUs

The Dell PowerEdge R740 fits in a standard 2U rack space and ships with two Intel Gold 6126 processors running at 2.6GHz. Each CPU provides 12 cores and 19.25M cache for multi-threaded workloads. The system includes 64GB of DDR4 memory across four 16GB modules at 2666 MT/s. Six 960GB SAS SSDs are installed behind an H730P RAID controller.

Redundant 1100W supplies and iDRAC9 management

Dual 1100W power supplies provide redundancy for continuous operation in dense racks. The integrated iDRAC9 Enterprise controller enables remote monitoring and firmware updates without physical access. Network connectivity uses an Intel X550 adapter with two 10Gb RJ45 and two 1Gb RJ45 ports. Up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots remain available for additional I/O cards.

Bezel rails and power cords included

A front bezel without LCD, sliding rails and power cords are supplied so the unit can be racked immediately. No optical drive is fitted, leaving all eight 2.5-inch drive bays open for storage expansion. The H730P controller manages the existing SAS SSD array and any future drives added to the remaining bays. Export restrictions apply to this configuration.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 2.5" SAS SSDs into the 8-bay chassis, and which step is often missed?

Slide each 960GB drive into an empty front bay until the latch clicks, then use the H730P RAID controller BIOS to create a virtual disk before the OS sees the volume.

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

The hot-plug PSUs can be swapped one at a time without downtime; replace a unit if the iDRAC9 Enterprise log reports a fan or voltage fault.

What limit appears first when both Gold 6126 12C CPUs run at 2.6GHz under sustained load?

The 1100W redundant power budget caps total draw before the 2666 DDR4 memory bandwidth or PCIe Gen 3 slot throughput becomes a bottleneck.
