2U rack server for virtualisation workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Gold 6126 processors, each with twelve cores at 2.6 GHz. It ships with 32 GB of DDR4 memory in a two-module configuration and includes a H730P RAID controller. The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch drive bays for storage expansion.

Suits consolidation and database roles.

This server suits organisations consolidating virtual machines or running memory-intensive databases that benefit from the dual twelve-core layout and SAS SSD speed. The eight PCIe Gen 3 slots allow additional networking or storage cards. Buyers who need GPU acceleration for AI training or high-performance computing should look at a different platform because no GPU is installed and the form factor limits full-length double-width cards.

Dual Gold 6126 CPUs set the performance ceiling

The two Intel Gold 6126 processors define the compute ceiling for every workload on this system. Each CPU delivers twelve cores with 19.25 MB cache at 2.6 GHz, so the total thread count and clock speed are fixed by this choice. If the application demands higher single-thread frequency or more cores per socket, this server will not meet the requirement.

Questions about this item

What rack depth and rail kit does the 2U PowerEdge R740 chassis require?

The 2U R740 chassis fits standard 19-inch racks and ships with the Dell sliding rail kit included in the box.

Which firmware step is often missed when installing the H730P controller with the 7.68TB SAS SSDs?

Update the H730P RAID controller firmware and the SSD drive firmware to the same Dell-supported release before creating virtual disks.

When will the 1100W redundant power supplies or the 2×16GB DDR4 DIMMs need replacement?

Replace a power supply when iDRAC9 Enterprise reports a fault or efficiency drop, and replace DIMMs if memory diagnostics show correctable errors rising.
