Ready-to-run 2U rack server

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 arrives with dual Intel Gold 6126 processors, 256GB of DDR4 memory and six 1.2TB 10K SAS drives behind an H730P RAID controller. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise and networking includes two 10Gb RJ45 plus two 1Gb RJ45 ports. Redundant 1100W power supplies, rails and bezel are included.

Suits virtualisation clusters and database nodes

This configuration fits teams that need high core counts and fast rotational storage in a compact 2U form factor. Buyers who require optical media, GPU compute or more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays should consider other platforms. The installed 2666 MT/s memory and PCIe Gen 3 slots support current enterprise workloads.

256GB DDR4 in sixteen 16GB modules

The server populates all sixteen DIMM slots with 16GB PC4-2666 sticks, leaving no free slots for further memory expansion without removing existing modules. Any upgrade path will require replacing the installed memory.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the 2x Gold 6126 CPUs and 256GB DDR4 are detected after powering on the R740?

Open iDRAC9 Enterprise during boot and confirm the System Inventory shows two Intel Gold 6126 processors at 2.6GHz with 19.25M cache each, plus 16x 16GB PC4-2666 modules totalling 256GB.

Which items ship with the server and which must be sourced separately?

The shipment includes the 2U R740 chassis with 8x 2.5" bays, 6x 1.2TB 10K SAS drives, H730P RAID controller, 1100W redundant PSUs, iDRAC9 Enterprise, bezel without LCD, rails, and power cords; no optical drive is present.

Should I choose the 6x 1.2TB 10K SAS configuration or add more drives up to the 8-bay limit?

The 6x 1.2TB 10K SAS drives occupy six of the eight 2.5" bays, leaving two empty bays for future expansion if additional capacity or RAID redundancy is required.
