Rack Server with Dual 12-Core CPUs
This Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rackmount server fitted with two Intel Gold 6126 processors running at 2.6 GHz, each providing twelve cores. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 memory arranged as eight 16 GB modules at 2666 MT/s. The system includes an H730P RAID controller and two 120 GB SATA SSDs in an eight-bay 2.5-inch chassis.
Virtualisation Hosts Not Needing Large Local Storage
The configuration suits organisations consolidating virtual machines or running memory-intensive databases that benefit from twenty-four cores and 128 GB of RAM. Dual 10 GbE and dual 1 GbE ports handle heavy east-west traffic. Buyers who require more internal capacity than two 120 GB SSDs should evaluate other platforms. Workloads demanding GPU acceleration cannot be supported because no GPU is included.
Eight 2.5-Inch Drive Bays Define Expansion
The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch bays, yet only two are populated with 120 GB SATA SSDs. This bay count is the single specification that determines how much additional local storage can be added. The H730P controller manages RAID across any drives installed in those bays.

Questions about this item
What rack space must I have free to install the 2U R740 chassis?
The server occupies a standard 2U rack height, so you need two contiguous rack units in a 19-inch cabinet with front and rear clearance for airflow and cable routing.
Will my existing PCIe Gen 3 expansion cards fit the R740's I/O slots?
Yes, the chassis provides up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots, so any card designed for that generation will install and operate at its rated bandwidth.
How can I confirm the dual Gold 6126 processors and 128 GB DDR4 are recognised after power-on?
Open the iDRAC9 Enterprise web interface or watch the POST screen; both will list two 12-core CPUs at 2.6 GHz and show 128 GB of PC4-2666 memory.
