DELL PowerEdge R740 2U rack server 2x Gold 6126 12C 32GB 2x 960GB SAS SSD H730P

2U rack server with dual Gold 6126 CPUs

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mount server equipped with two Intel Gold 6126 processors, each delivering 12 cores at 2.6 GHz. It arrives with 32 GB of DDR4 memory installed as two 16 GB modules running at PC4-2666 speed. An H730P RAID controller manages two 960 GB SAS SSDs in the 2.5-inch drive bays. iDRAC9 Enterprise provides remote management out of the box.

Suited for virtualisation and database workloads

The eight available 2.5-inch bays and up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots give room to expand storage or add networking cards. Dual 10 Gb and dual 1 Gb RJ45 ports on the Intel X550 NDC handle high-throughput traffic. Buyers who need more than 32 GB of memory, more than eight drive bays or GPU-ready power envelopes should look at a different platform. The 1100 W redundant power supplies support the current configuration without extra headroom.

H730P RAID controller with two 960 GB SAS SSDs

The installed H730P controller drives the pair of 960 GB SAS SSDs and can manage additional drives in the remaining six bays. It supports hardware RAID levels for redundancy and performance tuning. Confirm that your operating system and applications are compatible with this controller before deployment.
