Dell R740 1U Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 1U rack server equipped with two Intel Gold 6126 processors, each delivering 12 cores at 2.6 GHz with 19.25 MB cache. It includes 64 GB of DDR4 memory across four 16 GB modules running at 2666 MT/s. Six 1.92 TB SAS SSDs are installed and managed by an H730P RAID controller. The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch drive bays and up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots. Dual 1100 W redundant power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management are included.

Suited For Dense Compute And Storage

This server suits workloads that demand dual-socket performance in a 1U form factor, such as virtualization clusters, database nodes, or high-density compute farms. The six SAS SSDs and H730P controller deliver hardware RAID for read-intensive datasets. Buyers who need more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays, require a 2U chassis for additional PCIe slots, or prefer a single-socket design should evaluate other platforms. The fixed 64 GB memory capacity may also limit memory-heavy applications.

Six 1.92 TB SAS SSDs With H730P RAID

The installed storage consists of six 1.92 TB SAS read-intensive SSDs paired with the H730P hardware RAID controller. This combination determines usable capacity, redundancy level, and I/O performance for the workload. Verify that the SAS interface and RAID features align with your application requirements before purchase.

Questions about this item

What rack height and drive-bay layout does the R740 use?

The R740 is a 1U rack server with eight 2.5-inch drive bays; six bays are filled with 1.92 TB SAS SSDs.

How are the rails and bezel fitted, and what step is often missed?

Slide the included rails into the rack, mount the server, then snap on the front bezel; the step often missed is securing the bezel latch so the chassis stays locked in place.

When will the redundant 1100 W power supplies need replacement?

Plan to swap the hot-plug 1100 W PSUs after several years of continuous operation or if iDRAC9 Enterprise reports a power-supply fault.
