Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 2U Server
This 2U rack server ships with dual Intel Gold 6126 processors running at 2.6 GHz, 128 GB of DDR4 memory and eight 300 GB 10K SAS drives on an H730P controller. It is built for virtualisation clusters, database nodes or compute-heavy workloads that need dense storage and redundant power in a standard rack footprint.
Suits teams needing balanced compute
The 12-core CPUs and 128 GB DDR4 handle multiple VMs or container pods, while the 10K SAS array delivers low-latency IOPS for transactional databases. Buyers who need all-flash capacity, GPU acceleration or single-thread frequency above 2.6 GHz should evaluate other configurations.
H730P RAID controller
The hardware RAID card manages the installed drives in the eight 2.5-inch bays, providing the performance and redundancy profile that determines whether this server matches the target workload.

Questions about this item
How much rack space does the 2U PowerEdge R740 chassis need?
The server occupies two rack units (2U) and includes mounting rails for a standard 19-inch rack.
What is the correct order for seating the eight 300 GB 10K SAS drives so the H730P RAID controller detects them?
Insert each 2.5-inch drive into the front bays until the carrier clicks; the H730P will then present the volumes in iDRAC9.
When should the 1100 W redundant power supplies be checked or replaced?
Monitor iDRAC9 Enterprise alerts; swap a PSU only when the management console reports a fault or efficiency drops.
