2U Rack Server with Dual Gold 6126
The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Gold 6126 processors, each running at 2.6 GHz with 12 cores. It ships with 32 GB of DDR4 memory installed as two 16 GB PC4-2666 modules. Eight 960 GB SAS SSDs fill the 2.5-inch drive bays, managed by an H730P RAID controller. Dual 1100 W redundant power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management are included.
Dual 10 GbE and PCIe Gen 3 Expansion
Network connectivity comes from an Intel X550 NDC providing two 10 Gb RJ45 ports and two 1 Gb RJ45 ports. The chassis offers up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots for add-in cards. This configuration suits virtualization hosts, database nodes and compute clusters that need balanced CPU core count and all-flash storage. Buyers who require more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays or additional memory capacity from the outset should evaluate larger chassis options.
H730P RAID Controller with Eight SAS SSDs
The installed H730P controller manages the eight 960 GB SAS SSDs in hardware RAID, delivering the storage performance and redundancy profile that defines this server's readiness for production workloads.
