Dell PowerEdge R740 8LFF dual Xeon Gold 6126 server

This 2U rack-mount system ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6126 processors running at 2.6 GHz and 512 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. A PERC H730P RAID controller and an integrated 10 GbE two-port 562T adapter are factory-installed. Dual 750 W power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management complete the baseline configuration.

Suits virtualisation hosts needing dense memory

Buyers who require GPU acceleration should consider other platforms. The eight 3.5-inch bays accept SATA hard drives only; no drives are included. Maximum memory capacity reaches 3 TB across 24 DIMM slots for future expansion.

Eight 3.5-inch SATA drive bays with PERC H730P RAID

The chassis supports up to eight large-form-factor drives on a single hardware RAID controller. This bay count and controller combination determines whether the platform matches your storage density and redundancy requirements.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the PERC H730P RAID controller and iDRAC9 Enterprise are active after powering on?

During POST the controller BIOS lists the H730P firmware version and any connected SATA drives, while the iDRAC9 splash shows its IP address and Enterprise licence status.

Which components are already installed and which must be sourced separately?

Two Xeon Gold 6126 CPUs, 512 GB DDR4 ECC memory, PERC H730P controller, 10 GbE 562T dual-port adapter, and two 750 W supplies are fitted; no 3.5" drives or rail kit are included.

Which memory configuration should I choose if I need the maximum 3 TB capacity?

The board has 24 DIMM slots; reaching 3 TB requires populating every slot with the largest supported DDR4 RDIMM modules.
