Rack Server with Dual Gold 6126 CPUs

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 128 GB of DDR4 memory arranged as eight 16 GB modules at 2666 MT/s. The system includes a PERC H730P RAID controller and two 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives in an eight-bay 2.5-inch chassis.

Suited for Virtualisation and Database Workloads

This configuration targets environments that need high core counts and redundant power for virtualisation clusters or transactional databases. The dual 10 Gb and dual 1 Gb Ethernet ports support demanding network I/O. Buyers who require more than eight drive bays, GPU expansion beyond the PCIe Gen 3 slots, or a different memory capacity should evaluate other platforms.

H730P RAID Controller with Eight Drive Bays

The integrated PERC H730P controller manages the two installed 1.2 TB SAS drives and supports additional drives up to the chassis limit of eight 2.5-inch bays. This single component determines the storage topology and RAID options available for the server.

Questions about this item

What rack rails and power cords must I already have to install this 2U server?

The Dell PowerEdge R740 ships with rails and power cords included, so no additional mounting hardware or cables are required for a standard 19-inch rack.

Can the Intel X550 network controller with 2x 10Gb RJ45 and 2x 1Gb RJ45 ports connect to my existing Cat5e patch panel?

Yes, the 1Gb RJ45 ports operate over Cat5e, while the 10Gb RJ45 ports require Cat6a or better for full speed but will negotiate down to 1Gb on Cat5e.

How do I verify the H730P RAID controller sees both 1.2TB 10K SAS drives after first boot?

Open the iDRAC9 Enterprise web interface or press Ctrl+R during POST to enter the H730P configuration utility; both drives should appear as Ready with correct capacity.
