DELL R740 2x Gold 6126 12C 256GB 2x 1.92TB SAS SSD H730P

Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 1U Server

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 1U rack server fitted with dual Intel Gold 6126 processors, each running at 2.6 GHz with 12 cores. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 memory arranged as sixteen 16 GB modules at 2666 MT/s. The system includes a PERC H730P RAID controller and two 1.92 TB SAS RI SSDs in an eight-bay 2.5-inch chassis. Redundant 1100 W power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management complete the package.

Suited for virtualisation hosts and database nodes

This configuration suits organisations that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a single rack unit for virtualisation clusters or in-memory database workloads. The eight PCIe Gen 3 slots provide room for additional network or accelerator cards. Buyers who need more than two internal drives or who require a different drive interface should look at other chassis options.

Storage interface fixed at SAS

The installed 1.92 TB solid-state drives use a SAS interface connected to the H730P controller. This interface determines drive compatibility and performance characteristics for the array. If your deployment demands a different drive protocol, this server will not meet that requirement without a controller change.
