Dell PowerEdge R740 2U rack server
This 2U rack server ships with dual Intel Gold 6126 processors running at 2.6 GHz with 12 cores each. It includes 32 GB of DDR4 memory installed as two 16 GB modules at PC4-2666 speed. Eight 120 GB SATA SSDs fill the 2.5-inch drive bays and are managed by a H730P RAID controller. The system also provides an Intel X550 network daughter card with two 10 Gb RJ45 and two 1 Gb RJ45 ports plus iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management.
Workloads needing dense compute
The eight-drive bay layout and hardware RAID suit virtualisation hosts, database nodes or edge compute clusters that benefit from low-latency SSD storage. Dual 1100 W redundant power supplies support high-availability requirements. Buyers who need more than 32 GB of memory or additional drive bays should look at a larger chassis or a configuration with higher-capacity DIMMs.
8x 120 GB SATA SSDs with H730P RAID
All eight 2.5-inch bays are populated with 120 GB SATA read-intensive SSDs behind the H730P controller. This fixed storage capacity and drive type determine whether the server matches your capacity and endurance needs without further drive purchases.

Questions about this item
How much rack space does the 2U R740 chassis require?
The server occupies 2U of rack height and includes rails for mounting in a standard 19-inch rack.
How are the two Intel Gold 6126 processors and the 32GB DDR4 memory installed?
Both CPUs are factory-fitted in the dual-socket motherboard; the 32GB ships as two 16GB PC4-2666 modules already seated in the DIMM slots.
What drive replacement does the 8-bay 2.5-inch backplane support?
All eight bays are populated with 120GB SATA RI SSDs; any future replacement must be a 2.5-inch SATA SSD that fits the same bay.
