DELL PowerEdge R740 2U 2x Gold 6132 14C 128GB 8x 800GB SAS SSD H730P

Rack Server for Enterprise Workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Gold 6132 processors, each delivering 14 cores at 2.6GHz. It ships with 128GB of DDR4 memory across eight 16GB modules and eight 800GB SAS SSDs managed by an H730P RAID controller. This configuration targets virtualisation, database and compute-heavy applications in the datacentre.

Thermals Noise and Power Draw

Redundant 1100W power supplies maintain uptime while the chassis airflow design cools the dual 14-core CPUs and fully populated drive bays. The system runs firmware-updated components that balance fan speed against acoustic output in typical rack rows. Power consumption scales with workload across the 28 total cores and storage array.

Build Integration and Expansion

Eight PCIe Gen 3 slots provide room for additional network, GPU or storage adapters beyond the onboard Intel X550 dual 10Gb and dual 1Gb RJ45 ports. The 2.5-inch drive bay chassis is fully populated, so further internal capacity requires external enclosures. iDRAC9 Enterprise enables remote deployment and monitoring without a local console. No optical drive is fitted. Purchasers needing more than eight internal drives or a different drive interface should evaluate alternative platforms.
