Dell PowerEdge R740 2U Server

This Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for dense compute workloads. It ships with two Intel Gold 6126 processors running at 2.6 GHz and 64 GB of DDR4 memory across four 16 GB modules. Six 300 GB 10 K SAS drives and an H730P RAID controller provide fast local storage in an eight-bay chassis. Dual 1100 W redundant power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management complete the package.

Suited for virtualisation and database clusters

The twelve cores per processor and 64 GB memory suit virtualisation hosts and mid-size database clusters that need strong single-thread performance. Organisations requiring larger memory footprints or all-flash arrays should evaluate other configurations. The eight 2.5-inch bays limit raw capacity compared to 3.5-inch alternatives. Workloads dependent on newer instruction sets or higher core counts will need a different platform.

Dual Gold 6126 twelve-core CPUs

The two Gold 6126 CPUs each provide twelve cores at 2.6 GHz with 19.25 MB cache, defining the server's compute ceiling. Memory runs as DDR4 PC4-2666 in a quad-channel layout across four DIMM slots. Storage uses six 300 GB 10 K SAS drives behind the H730P controller with eight total 2.5-inch bays available. Network connectivity includes dual 10 Gb and dual 1 Gb RJ45 ports from the Intel X550 adapter.

Questions about this item

How do I decide between the 64 GB DDR4 configuration and adding more memory later?

The system ships with 64 GB DDR4 installed as four 16 GB PC4-2666 modules. Empty DIMM slots remain available for future expansion up to the platform maximum.

What does the 2.6 GHz Gold 6126 rating mean for actual workload throughput?

Each of the two Gold 6126 processors runs at 2.6 GHz with 12 cores and 19.25 MB cache, giving strong multi-threaded performance for virtualization and database tasks.

How does the H730P controller and SAS interface affect the 300 GB 10K drives in practice?

The H730P RAID controller manages the six 300 GB 10K SAS drives with hardware RAID acceleration, delivering consistent I/O for mixed read-write workloads.
