DELL PowerEdge R740 2x Gold 6126 12C 64GB 8x 800GB SAS SSD H730P

2U Rack Server with Dual Gold 6126 CPUs

The Dell EMC 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 64 GB of DDR4 memory arranged as four 16 GB PC4-2666 modules. Eight 800 GB SAS SSDs are installed and managed by an H730P RAID controller. Dual redundant 1100 W power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management are included.

Suited for Virtualisation and Database Workloads

This configuration targets environments that need high core counts and fast local storage for virtualisation clusters or transactional databases. The eight 2.5-inch drive bays are fully populated, so buyers who need additional internal capacity must look at external enclosures. Organisations requiring GPU acceleration or more than eight PCIe Gen 3 slots should evaluate larger chassis options.

Ready for Rack Deployment with Included Rails

The unit arrives with sliding rails, a front bezel and power cords, allowing immediate installation in a standard 19-inch rack. The iDRAC9 Enterprise module provides out-of-band access for firmware updates and hardware monitoring before the operating system loads. A common oversight is neglecting to configure the H730P RAID arrays and virtual disks prior to OS installation, which can delay commissioning.
