Dell PowerEdge R740 dual Gold 6132 server

This 2U rack server ships with two Intel Gold 6132 processors, each running at 2.6GHz with 14 cores and 19.25M cache. The system includes 64GB of DDR4 memory arranged as four 16GB modules at 2666MT/s. It is aimed at organisations that need dense compute for virtualisation, database or high-performance workloads in a standard rack footprint.

Check rack depth and power infrastructure before

The chassis occupies 2U of rack space and accepts up to eight 2.5-inch drives, of which four bays are populated with 120GB SATA SSDs. Network connectivity is provided by an Intel X550 controller delivering two 10Gb RJ45 and two 1Gb RJ45 ports. Remote management uses iDRAC9 Enterprise, and the unit includes rails, bezel and power cords but no optical drive.

Redundant 1100W supplies handle peak load

Dual hot-plug power supplies share the load, keeping fan speeds moderate during typical operation. The H730P RAID controller manages the installed SSDs and any additional drives without adding audible noise. Thermal design targets steady airflow through the 2U chassis, so inlet temperature should stay within Dell's specified operating range for consistent acoustics.

Questions about this item

Does the Dell PowerEdge R740 ship with rails, bezel and power cords, or must they be purchased separately?

The server includes bezel (no LCD), rails and power cords in the box; no extra purchase is needed for those items.

With four 120 GB SATA RI SSDs and eight 2.5-inch bays, should I populate the remaining slots with more SSDs or add larger drives?

The H730P controller supports mixed capacities; you can add larger SATA SSDs or HDDs in the four empty bays to expand raw capacity while keeping the existing RAID set.

How does the dual Gold 6132 configuration at 2.6 GHz with 19.25M cache per CPU perform in a virtualisation host?

Twenty-eight cores total at 2.6 GHz with 19.25M cache each provide strong multi-thread throughput for dense VM workloads and database engines.
