Ready-to-deploy 2U rack server
The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 arrives with dual Intel Gold 6126 processors, twelve cores each at 2.6 GHz, and 128 GB of DDR4 memory in eight 16 GB modules. Four 800 GB SAS SSDs are pre-configured on an H730P RAID controller. The 2U chassis fits standard 19-inch racks and includes bezel, rails and power cords for immediate installation.
Expansion headroom and redundant power
Eight 2.5-inch drive bays leave four slots open for additional SAS storage. Up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots accept extra network, GPU or storage adapters. Dual 1100 W redundant power supplies maintain uptime if one unit fails. Integrated iDRAC9 Enterprise provides remote console, virtual media and lifecycle management over a dedicated port.
Bundled rails, bezel and iDRAC9 Enterprise
Included rails simplify rack mounting without extra hardware. The front bezel secures drive bays while maintaining airflow. iDRAC9 Enterprise licenses advanced monitoring, automated updates and remote firmware orchestration at no extra cost. The Intel X550 NDC delivers two 10 Gb RJ45 and two 1 Gb RJ45 ports for flexible network segmentation.

Questions about this item
What is the maximum number of 2.5-inch drives the R740 chassis can hold?
The chassis provides 8 bays for 2.5-inch drives, and 4 bays are currently populated with 800 GB SAS SSDs.
How much heat and noise should I expect when the server runs continuously with dual Gold 6126 CPUs and the H730P controller?
Two 2.6 GHz 12-core processors and the RAID card are cooled by redundant 1100 W power supplies and the standard 2U fan wall; acoustics and thermal output scale with workload.
Which network cables and switch ports are needed to use the onboard Intel X550 10 Gb RJ45 ports?
The NDC includes two 10 Gb RJ45 and two 1 Gb RJ45 ports, so Cat6a or better cabling and compatible 10 GbE switch ports are required for full speed.
