Dual Gold 6126 2U server for dense compute
The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 fits two Intel Gold 6126 processors, each with 12 cores at 2.6GHz, into a 2U rack chassis. It ships with 64GB of DDR4 memory across four 16GB modules running at 2666 MT/s. Six 1.2TB 10K SAS drives connect through an H730P RAID controller with eight 2.5-inch bays available. iDRAC9 Enterprise provides remote management.
Virtualisation hosts needing 10GbE
This server suits teams running hypervisors or database workloads that benefit from dual-socket performance and integrated 10GbE networking via the Intel X550 controller. Up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots allow GPU, FPGA or additional NIC expansion. Buyers who need more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays or who require an optical drive should look elsewhere.
H730P controller with six 1.2TB SAS drives
The installed H730P RAID controller manages the six 1.2TB 10K SAS drives in hardware RAID configurations. This combination delivers the storage throughput and redundancy profile that determines whether the system matches the target workload.

Questions about this item
Will the Intel X550 2x 10Gb RJ45 ports link with my existing 1Gb switches?
Yes, the Intel X550 NDC provides 2x 10Gb RJ45 and 2x 1Gb RJ45 ports, so the 1Gb connections will negotiate automatically with older switches.
How can I confirm the H730P controller sees all six 1.2TB drives after installation?
Open the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface or the H730P BIOS utility during boot; both will list each 1.2TB 10K SAS drive and its RAID status.
Do the included rails fit a standard 19-inch 2U rack and are the 1100W redundant PSUs pre-installed?
The server ships with sliding rails for a 19-inch rack, the 2U chassis mounts directly, and both 1100W redundant power supplies are already installed.
