Dell PowerEdge R740 2U rack server
The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server powered by two Intel Gold 6126 processors, each with 12 cores at 2.6GHz. It ships with 512GB of DDR4 memory across 16 modules and an H730P RAID controller managing two 300GB 10K SAS drives. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise. Dual redundant 1100W power supplies are included.
Suited for virtualisation and database workloads
This configuration suits environments that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a compact 2U form factor. The eight 2.5-inch drive bays and up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots provide expansion room for additional storage or networking cards. Buyers who require more than eight drive bays or a different drive interface should consider a different platform.
Eight 2.5-inch drive bays define storage limits
The chassis supports a maximum of eight 2.5-inch drives, so total raw capacity is constrained by the number of installed bays. Two 300GB SAS drives are fitted from the factory, leaving six bays available for expansion. The H730P controller manages RAID across these bays.

Questions about this item
How can I verify the server is operating correctly after installation?
Check the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface for system health, confirm both Intel Gold 6126 processors show 12 cores each at 2.6GHz, and verify the H730P controller reports the 2x 300GB 10K SAS drives in a healthy RAID state.
What components are included and what must I purchase separately?
The chassis includes 2x Gold 6126 CPUs, 16x 32GB DDR4 PC4-2400 modules totalling 512GB, 2x 300GB 10K SAS drives, H730P RAID controller, Intel X550 NDC with 2x 10Gb RJ45 and 2x 1Gb RJ45, 1100W redundant PSU, bezel, rails and power cords. Additional 2.5" drives for the remaining six bays and any PCIe Gen 3 cards are purchased separately.
Which drive capacity should I choose for the remaining six 2.5" bays?
The server supports 2.5" SAS drives; select capacities that match your workload and the H730P controller's supported drive sizes. The two installed bays use 300GB 10K SAS drives, so you can add identical or larger SAS drives to the six empty bays.
