DELL PowerEdge R740 8LFF 2x Xeon Gold 6126 32GB DDR4 rack server

Dell PowerEdge R740 8LFF dual Xeon server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 8LFF chassis holds two Xeon Gold 6126 processors running at 2.6GHz with 12 cores each. It ships with 32GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory in a 2x16GB layout. The PERC H730P RAID controller manages up to eight 3.5-inch SATA drive bays. Integrated graphics and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management are included.

Ideal for dense storage workloads

This 2U rack server suits teams that need high drive-count capacity with dual-socket compute for virtualization, databases, or backup targets. The 10GbE 2-port 562T adapter supports fast network throughput. Buyers who require GPU compute, PCIe flash tiers, or single-thread speeds above 2.6GHz should evaluate other platforms.

PERC H730P RAID controller

The H730P controller provides hardware RAID across the eight large-form-factor bays using SATA drives. No drives are installed, so you populate the bays with the capacity and redundancy level your workload demands. This combination of controller and bay count is the specification that determines whether the chassis matches your storage design.
