Dense compute in 1U

The PowerEdge R740 packs two Intel Gold 6132 processors, each with 14 cores at 2.6 GHz, into a single rack unit. Thirty-two gigabytes of DDR4 memory and four 1.92 TB SAS SSDs provide immediate capacity for virtualisation hosts or database nodes that need high core density without consuming extra rack space.

Sustained throughput with redundant power

Dual 1100 W redundant supplies keep both CPUs and the H730P RAID controller fed during continuous workloads. The controller manages the SAS SSD array with hardware RAID, while the Intel X550 network daughter card delivers two 10 Gb and two 1 Gb RJ45 links for steady east-west traffic inside the cluster.

Service-ready chassis and remote control

Eight 2.5-inch drive bays sit behind a tool-less bezel, and the included sliding rails simplify rack installation and cold-aisle service. iDRAC9 Enterprise provides full out-of-band management, including virtual console and lifecycle automation, so administrators can provision, monitor and update firmware without ever visiting the data centre floor.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the 1U R740 get when the dual Gold 6132 CPUs run at 2.6 GHz all day?

The 1U chassis uses redundant 1100W power supplies and high-speed fans to cool two 14-core Gold 6132 processors at 2.6 GHz; expect noticeable fan noise and heat output typical for dense 1U rack servers under sustained load.

What infrastructure do I already need to install this 1U rack server with iDRAC9 Enterprise?

You need a standard 19-inch rack with at least 1U of space, rails for mounting, AC power circuits for the dual 1100W PSUs, and a network drop for the Intel X550 10Gb and 1Gb RJ45 ports plus the dedicated iDRAC9 management port.

Will my existing 2.5-inch SAS drives and DDR4 memory work alongside the installed 1.92 TB SSDs and 32 GB DDR4?

The R740 provides eight 2.5-inch drive bays; the four installed 1.92 TB SAS SSDs occupy half the bays, leaving four open for additional 2.5-inch SAS drives. Memory uses DDR4 PC4-2666; the two 16 GB modules fill two slots, so compatible DDR4 DIMMs can be added to the remaining slots.
