DELL PowerEdge R740 8LFF 1x Xeon Gold 6126 2.6GHz 64GB DDR4 No Drive

2U Rack Server for Virtualisation

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mount server built around a single Intel Xeon Gold 6126 processor running at 2.6GHz with 12 cores. It ships with 64GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller. The 8-bay 3.5-inch chassis targets organisations consolidating workloads or running virtualised environments that demand redundant power and remote management via iDRAC9 Enterprise.

Scales from Single to Dual CPU

The system supports a second processor when compute demand grows beyond the installed 12 cores and 19.25MB cache. Memory capacity expands to 3TB across available slots, allowing incremental upgrades without replacing the platform. The jump is worth it when existing single-socket performance limits container density or database throughput and the 10GbE dual-port adapter is already saturating network links.

Fits Standard Racks with Dual 750W Supplies

The 36 x 24 x 10 inch form factor mounts in standard 19-inch racks using optional rail kits. Two 750W power supplies provide redundancy for the configured components and any drives added to the eight SATA bays. Integrated graphics handles console output, freeing PCIe slots for additional networking or acceleration cards. The iDRAC9 Enterprise licence enables full out-of-band control without extra licensing cost.
