Dual Xeon Gold 6226 Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mount server system equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 6226 processors running at 2.7 GHz. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller. The chassis provides eight 3.5-inch large form factor drive bays for SATA hard drives.

Capacity and expansion fit

This configuration suits organisations that need dual-socket compute density and up to 3 TB of DDR4 memory in a standard rack footprint. Buyers who require more than two processor sockets or who need drive interfaces beyond SATA should evaluate other platforms, as the board is limited to two CPUs and the installed controller supports SATA connectivity only.

Eight-bay 3.5-inch chassis

The defining specification is the 8LFF chassis that accepts up to eight 3.5-inch SATA drives, setting the storage ceiling for this unit. The PERC H730P controller manages RAID across those bays, while the dual 750 W power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management complete the core infrastructure.

Questions about this item

What does the 2.7 GHz clock speed mean for real-world workloads on the Xeon Gold 6226 processors?

Each Xeon Gold 6226 runs at 2.7 GHz with 12 cores, giving 24 cores total for parallel tasks such as virtualization or database work.

How does the PERC H730P controller limit the SATA drive interface in practice?

The PERC H730P manages RAID across the SATA drives; its firmware and cache determine the maximum array size and stripe performance.

Will the 36 x 24 x 10 in chassis fit a standard 19-inch rack with 3.5-inch drive bays?

The R740 is a 2U rack-mount server designed for 19-inch racks and provides eight 3.5-inch drive bays in this LFF configuration.
