2U Rack Server with Dual Gold 6126 CPUs
The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Gold 6126 processors, each running at 2.6GHz with 12 cores. It comes with 256GB of DDR4 memory installed across sixteen 16GB modules operating at 2666 MT/s. The system includes a PERC H730P RAID controller and two 800GB SAS SSDs. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise.
Suits Virtualisation and Database Workloads
This configuration suits environments that need high core counts and a large memory footprint, such as virtualisation hosts or database servers. The eight 2.5-inch drive bays allow storage expansion beyond the two included SSDs. Buyers who need more than eight drive bays or require a different drive form factor should look at other chassis designs. The included 1100W redundant power supplies support continuous operation.
256GB DDR4 Across Sixteen DIMM Slots
The server ships with 256GB of DDR4 memory populated in sixteen DIMM slots using 16GB modules. This leaves no free slots for additional memory without removing existing modules. Verify that the installed capacity meets the workload requirements before purchase.

Questions about this item
How deep is the rack space required for this 2U PowerEdge R740 server?
The R740 is a 2U rack server that fits a standard 19-inch rack; verify your cabinet depth before mounting.
Which iDRAC9 Enterprise port is used for the initial remote management setup?
Connect the dedicated iDRAC9 Ethernet port, configure a static IP in BIOS or DHCP, then access the web interface — skipping the dedicated port is the common error.
How many 2.5-inch drive bays remain free after the two 800GB SAS SSDs are installed?
The chassis supports 8 bays total; with 2 occupied by the installed SSDs, 6 bays are available for future SAS or SSD expansion.
