Dual Gold 6126 12-core server
The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Gold 6126 processors running at 2.6 GHz with twelve cores each. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 memory arranged in sixteen 32 GB modules. Four 800 GB SAS SSDs are installed behind an H730P RAID controller. The system targets organisations that need dense compute and fast local storage in a standard rack footprint.
Redundant 1100 W power and iDRAC9 management
Dual 1100 W redundant power supplies keep the platform running during a module failure. The iDRAC9 Enterprise controller provides full remote console, power control and hardware monitoring over the network. An Intel X550 network daughter card adds two 10 Gb RJ45 ports and two 1 Gb RJ45 ports for high-throughput and management traffic. No optical drive is fitted, reducing internal heat load.
Eight 2.5-inch bays and eight PCIe Gen 3 slots
The chassis offers eight 2.5-inch drive bays, leaving four empty bays for additional SAS SSDs. Up to eight PCIe Gen 3 expansion slots accommodate GPUs, extra network adapters or storage controllers. Rails, bezel and power cords are included for immediate rack mounting. Export eligibility restrictions apply to this configuration.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 16 DDR4 memory modules, and which step is often missed?
Populate all 16 slots with the 32GB PC4-2400 DIMMs following the CPU-specific channel order in the service manual; the step most often missed is matching each module to its correct channel for 2.6GHz Gold 6126 processors.
What maintenance will the 4x 800GB SAS SSDs and H730P controller need over time?
Monitor SSD wear via iDRAC9 Enterprise and H730P logs; plan drive replacement when media-wear indicators approach threshold, and verify controller battery health during scheduled downtime.
What limit appears first when the dual Gold 6126 CPUs run sustained 12-core workloads?
The 1100W redundant power supply set becomes the first constraint under full 24-core load, before thermal limits on the 2U chassis with 8x 2.5" bays.
