Ready-to-deploy 2U rack server
The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 arrives fully configured with dual Intel Gold 6126 processors, 512GB of DDR4 memory and four 7.68TB SAS SSDs behind an H730P RAID controller. It targets IT teams that need a validated compute platform without assembly or firmware work.
Storage ceiling set by eight 2.5-inch bays
The chassis supports a maximum of eight 2.5-inch drives, so the four installed SSDs leave half the bays free for expansion. The H730P controller manages RAID across SAS devices, and the PCIe Gen 3 slots provide additional I/O headroom for networking or acceleration cards.
512GB DDR4 in a sixteen-DIMM layout
Memory is populated across all sixteen slots with 32GB PC4-2400 modules, leaving no empty sockets for further upgrades. Buyers who need more capacity must replace existing DIMMs rather than add to them.
