Dell PowerEdge R740 1U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 1U rack server built for dense compute workloads. It ships with two Intel Gold 6126 processors, each running at 2.6 GHz with 12 cores. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 memory across 16 modules and a PERC H730P RAID controller. Six 1.92 TB SAS SSDs are installed in the 2.5-inch drive bays.

Virtualisation hosts and database nodes

This configuration suits teams running virtualised infrastructure or memory-intensive databases that benefit from high core counts and large DRAM capacity. The 256 GB DDR4 complement and dual 12-core CPUs provide headroom for consolidated workloads. Buyers who need more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays or require a different storage interface should evaluate other platforms.

Six 1.92 TB SAS SSDs with H730P RAID

The installed storage array consists of six 1.92 TB SAS read-intensive SSDs managed by the H730P controller. This combination delivers hardware RAID levels and consistent throughput for mixed read-write patterns. The drive count leaves two 2.5-inch bays available for future expansion or a dedicated boot volume.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.6 GHz Gold 6126 CPUs work with my existing DDR4 2666 memory modules?

The server already includes 256 GB of DDR4 2666 memory across 16 slots, so additional modules must match that speed and voltage to be compatible.

How can I verify the H730P controller sees all six 1.92 TB SAS SSDs after installation?

During POST the H730P BIOS will list each detected drive, and iDRAC9 Enterprise shows the full RAID array status and health in its web interface.

Do the included rails fit a standard 1U 2.5-inch bay rack and are power cords supplied?

The package includes sliding rails, a front bezel without LCD, and two power cords for the redundant 1100 W supplies.
