DELL PowerEdge R740 2U Rack Server 1× Gold 6132 14C 128GB 2× 300GB SAS H730P

Ready-to-Rack 2U Server

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server supplied new with a single Intel Gold 6132 processor running at 2.6 GHz with 14 cores and 128 GB of DDR4 memory installed as eight 16 GB modules. It includes an H730P RAID controller and two 300 GB 10K SAS drives. iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management is fitted.

Suits Virtualisation Hosts Not GPU Farms

This configuration fits organisations that need dense compute and memory for virtualisation, database or application workloads in a standard rack. The single CPU and lack of GPU-ready PCIe power cables mean it is not suited to graphics-heavy rendering, AI training or high-performance computing clusters that demand multiple accelerators.

14 Core Gold 6132 Defines Thread Count

The installed Intel Gold 6132 provides 14 cores at 2.6 GHz with 19.25 MB cache, setting the hard limit on simultaneous threads for this chassis. Adding a second processor is possible but not included, so buyers must decide if the current core count meets licensing and performance targets before purchase.
