2U Rack Server with Dual Gold 6126 CPUs
The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Gold 6126 processors, each running at 2.6GHz with 12 cores. It ships with 256GB of DDR4 memory installed across 16 modules and includes an H730P RAID controller managing eight 300GB 10K SAS drives. Redundant 1100W power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management are fitted.
Suited for high-density compute and virtualisation
This configuration suits environments that need substantial CPU core counts and fast SAS storage in a compact 2U form factor. Buyers who require more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays or need an internal optical drive should consider other platforms. The eight PCIe Gen 3 slots provide expansion room for additional network or accelerator cards.
H730P RAID controller with eight SAS drives
The H730P controller manages the eight installed 300GB 10K SAS drives, defining the storage performance and redundancy available out of the box. No other drive bays are populated and the chassis supports a maximum of eight 2.5-inch drives in total. The controller choice determines which RAID levels can be configured for the operating system and data volumes.

Questions about this item
How much power do the dual 1100W redundant supplies draw when the R740 runs all day?
Each supply is rated at 1100W; actual draw depends on the workload placed on the two Gold 6126 CPUs and the eight 300GB 10K SAS drives.
Which rails and cables must I already have to mount and power this 2U server?
The box includes rails and power cords, so no extra mounting hardware or cables are required for a standard rack installation.
Can the eight 2.5-inch bays and PCIe Gen 3 slots accept my older SAS drives and expansion cards?
The 2.5-inch bays take SAS drives and the PCIe Gen 3 slots accept compatible cards; the H730P controller manages the installed 300GB 10K SAS drives.
