Purpose-built 2U rack server

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Gold 6126 processors. Each CPU delivers 12 cores at 2.6 GHz with 19.25 MB cache. The system ships with 64 GB of DDR4 memory across four 16 GB modules and includes an H730P RAID controller.

Suits virtualisation hosts, not GPU clusters

This configuration suits teams consolidating virtual machines or running memory-intensive databases. The eight 2.5-inch drive bays and dual 10 Gb RJ45 ports support high-throughput storage and network workloads. Buyers needing GPU acceleration or more than eight internal drives should evaluate alternative platforms.

Verify rack depth, power and PCIe clearance

Confirm the rack can accommodate a 2U chassis with redundant 1100 W power supplies and the included rails. Ensure the PDU provides matching IEC connectors for dual feeds. Check that any add-in cards fit within the eight PCIe Gen 3 slots and that the iDRAC9 Enterprise licence matches management requirements.

Questions about this item

What rack depth and rails are required to mount the 2U PowerEdge R740 chassis?

The 2U R740 chassis fits standard 19-inch racks; the included sliding rails secure it without extra brackets.

Can the Intel X550 10Gb RJ45 ports auto-negotiate down to 1Gb links on older switches?

Yes, the dual 10Gb RJ45 ports negotiate 10Gb, 1Gb or 100Mb speeds so legacy copper switches connect without adapters.

How do I confirm the H730P RAID controller sees both 480GB SATA SSDs after first boot?

Open the H730P BIOS utility or iDRAC9 Enterprise storage view; both 480GB drives should appear as Ready with a healthy virtual disk.
