Built for dense virtualisation

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 fits in a 2U rack and ships with two Intel Gold 6126 processors, each running at 2.6GHz with 12 cores. 512GB of DDR4 memory is installed across 16 modules, giving ample headroom for heavily consolidated workloads. Four 480GB SATA SSDs provide fast boot and application storage from day one.

Chassis and connectivity

The 8-bay 2.5-inch chassis leaves four drive bays free for future expansion without leaving the rack. Up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots support additional network or accelerator cards as requirements grow. An Intel X550 NDC delivers two 10Gb RJ45 ports and two 1Gb RJ45 ports for flexible network segmentation. Redundant 1100W power supplies and included rails simplify deployment in standard cabinets.

Management and storage control

The H730P RAID controller manages the installed SSDs and any added drives with hardware acceleration. iDRAC9 Enterprise provides full out-of-band remote management, including virtual console and lifecycle automation. Bezel, rails and power cords are included so the server is ready to rack immediately. Buyers needing more than eight drive bays or integrated optical media should evaluate larger form-factor platforms.
