Dual Gold 6126 2U rack server

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 delivers twenty-four cores at 2.6 GHz with 256 GB of DDR4 memory across sixteen modules. It is built for virtualisation clusters, database nodes and compute-heavy workloads that demand consistent multi-threaded throughput in a 2U form factor.

Sustained load behaviour

Eight 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives behind an H730P controller keep I/O steady during long-running jobs. Up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots and dual 10 Gb RJ45 ports feed data without bottlenecking the CPUs when every core stays busy for hours.

Thermals noise and power

Redundant 1100 W supplies share the load so neither unit runs at its limit. The 2U chassis moves enough air to keep both processors and the drive cage at operating temperature while fan noise stays within typical rack-floor expectations.

Questions about this item

How loud are the fans when the dual Gold 6126 CPUs run at full load all day?

The 2U chassis uses multiple hot-plug fans that scale speed with CPU and drive temperatures; under sustained load the system runs audibly but within typical rack-server limits.

Which rack-mount hardware must I already have to install this 2U server?

The unit ships with sliding rails; you need a standard 19-inch four-post rack with square or threaded holes and at least 2U of free space.

Will the PCIe Gen 3 slots accept older PCIe Gen 2 expansion cards I want to keep?

Yes, the eight PCIe Gen 3 slots are backward compatible with Gen 2 and Gen 1 cards, so existing add-in cards will function at their rated speed.
