Ready-to-configure 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rackmount server system supplied new with two Xeon Gold 6226R processors running at 2.9 GHz and 16 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. Eight 3.5-inch drive bays are available for SATA hard drives, though none are installed in this configuration. A PERC H730P RAID controller and an integrated 10 GbE two-port 562T adapter are fitted, alongside dual 750 W power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management.

Suits virtualisation hosts needing dense 3.5-inch

This chassis fits workloads that benefit from up to eight large-form-factor SATA drives and dual-socket Xeon compute. Buyers who require smaller 2.5-inch bays, a different drive interface, or a single-processor layout should consider other platforms. The 16 GB base memory supports light consolidation; heavier memory footprints will need additional DDR4 modules to approach the 3 TB maximum.

3 TB DDR4 ceiling

The platform supports a maximum of 3 TB of DDR4 memory across its DIMM slots. Confirm that your intended workload stays within this limit before ordering, as the installed 16 GB represents only a starting point.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 3.5-inch drives in the 8-bay chassis and which step is commonly missed?

Slide each drive into a bay until the carrier latch clicks, then verify the PERC H730P RAID controller detects every disk in the BIOS before loading the OS.

What maintenance will the 750-watt power supplies and iDRAC9 remote management need over time?

Clean the PSU air intakes quarterly, confirm both units share load evenly, and apply iDRAC firmware updates when Dell releases them.

Which limit appears first when the dual 6226R processors run sustained workloads at 2.9 GHz?

Thermal throttling triggers once the chassis inlet temperature exceeds the rated maximum, reducing clock speed to protect the CPUs.
