Dell PowerEdge R740 2U rack server
The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for virtualisation and database workloads. It ships with two Intel Gold 6126 processors, each delivering 12 cores at 2.6GHz, and 512GB of DDR4 memory installed across 16 slots. Four 960GB SATA SSDs provide fast storage through the H730P RAID controller. The system includes iDRAC9 Enterprise for remote management.
Installation notes for rack deployment
The 2U chassis fits standard 19-inch racks and includes rails for sliding installation. Eight 2.5-inch drive bays are available, with four already populated by the supplied SSDs. Up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots allow add-in cards such as additional NICs or accelerators. The 1100W redundant power supplies are hot-swap, so a failed unit can be replaced without downtime. Cable routing at the rear keeps airflow tidy.
Pre-purchase checks for your environment
Verify that your rack has at least 2U of free space and that the supplied rails match your rack type. Confirm that your network infrastructure can use the Intel X550 dual 10Gb RJ45 and dual 1Gb RJ45 ports. Ensure your operating system and hypervisor support the Gold 6126 CPU and the H730P RAID controller. Check power distribution for dual 1100W supplies and the correct IEC cords for your region.

Questions about this item
How do I verify the server is working after setup?
Log into the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface and confirm both Gold 6126 CPUs show 12 cores at 2.6GHz, all 16 DDR4 modules report 32GB each, the H730P controller sees four 960GB SATA SSDs in a healthy array, and both 1100W power supplies read normal.
What ships with the server and what must I buy separately?
The unit includes the 2U chassis with 8x 2.5" bays, bezel, rails, power cords, dual Gold 6126 processors, 512GB DDR4 in 16 slots, four 960GB SATA SSDs, H730P RAID controller, Intel X550 quad-port NDC and dual 1100W PSUs. No optical drive is present; additional drives or PCIe cards are optional.
Which capacity should I choose if I need more storage?
This configuration ships with four 960GB SATA SSDs occupying half the 8-bay chassis. To increase capacity, populate the four empty 2.5" bays with compatible SATA SSDs or HDDs; the H730P controller supports up to eight drives total.
