Rack Server for Compute Workloads
The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Gold 6126 processors running at 2.6GHz with twelve cores each and 128GB of DDR4 memory installed across eight 16GB modules. It includes a PERC H730P RAID controller managing two 7.68TB SAS SSDs in a chassis that supports up to eight 2.5-inch drives.
Suited for Virtualisation and Database Roles
This system fits environments that need dual-socket performance with redundant 1100W power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management. Buyers who require more than eight drive bays, optical media support or a different network interface should evaluate other platforms.
Storage Controller Determines Drive Compatibility
The H730P controller governs which SAS drives can be used and how they are configured in RAID arrays. Verify that your intended drives are on the controller's supported list before purchase.

Questions about this item
How much power do the two Gold 6126 processors and the 1100 W redundant supplies draw under continuous load?
Each Gold 6126 runs at 2.6 GHz with 12 cores; the system includes 1100 W redundant power supplies designed to handle the full configuration.
What cabling and backplane are required to use the 2.5-inch SAS SSDs with the H730P controller?
The chassis provides 8 x 2.5-inch drive bays wired to the H730P RAID controller; the two 7.68 TB SAS SSDs install directly into those bays.
Can the PCIe Gen 3 slots accept older PCIe 2.0 expansion cards I already own?
Up to 8 PCIe Gen 3 slots are available and are backward compatible with PCIe 2.0 cards.
