Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 2U server

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built around one Intel Gold 6132 processor with 14 cores at 2.6GHz. It ships with 128GB of DDR4 memory in eight 16GB modules running at 2666 MT/s. The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch drive bays for storage expansion.

H730P RAID controller and 960GB SAS SSDs

The H730P RAID controller manages the two included 960GB SAS SSDs and supports additional drives in the remaining bays. iDRAC9 Enterprise enables remote management and firmware updates without physical access. The network daughter card delivers two 10Gb RJ45 ports and two 1Gb RJ45 ports for flexible connectivity.

Redundant power and PCIe Gen 3 expansion

Dual 1100W redundant power supplies keep the system running if one unit fails. Up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots accommodate add-in cards for storage, networking or acceleration. Rails, bezel and power cords are included for immediate rack mounting.

Questions about this item

How often do the 1100W redundant power supplies need replacing?

The server ships with 1100W redundant power supplies; iDRAC9 Enterprise will alert you when a PSU fault occurs so the unit can be swapped without downtime.

What thermal limit appears first when the Gold 6132 runs at 2.6GHz across all 14 cores continuously?

The 14‑core Gold 6132 at 2.6GHz will hit its package thermal ceiling before the chassis fans reach maximum speed, throttling clock rates to stay within limits.

How loud are the fans when the R740 idles at 128GB DDR4 capacity all day?

At idle the 2U chassis fans run at low RPM, producing typical rack‑mount background noise that blends into a standard server room environment.
