2U Rack Server with Gold 6132

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server fitted with one Intel Gold 6132 processor running at 2.6GHz with 14 cores and 19.25M cache. It ships with 32GB of DDR4 memory in a 2x 16GB PC4-2666 configuration. Four 480GB SATA SSDs are installed and managed by an H730P RAID controller. The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch drive bays for further expansion.

Sustained Load Behaviour

The single Gold 6132 CPU delivers 14 cores at a base frequency of 2.6GHz, allowing consistent throughput for virtualisation or database workloads. The 1100W redundant power supplies maintain stable operation during extended periods of high utilisation. iDRAC9 Enterprise provides continuous remote monitoring and management without impacting host performance. PCIe Gen 3 slots support additional accelerators or network cards for long-running tasks.

Practical Interface Limits

The Intel X550 network daughter card supplies two 10Gb RJ45 ports and two 1Gb RJ45 ports, defining the wired throughput ceiling. SATA SSDs connected to the H730P controller operate within the SATA interface bandwidth limit. Eight PCIe Gen 3 slots set the expansion ceiling for add-in cards. The eight 2.5-inch drive bays represent the physical storage device limit of this chassis.

Questions about this item

How much power does the 1100W redundant supply draw when the Gold 6132 runs at full load all day?

The server ships with an 1100W redundant power supply; actual draw depends on workload and ambient temperature.

Which rails and cables must I already have to mount this 2U chassis in a standard rack?

Rails and power cords are included with the unit, so no extra rack-mount hardware is required.

Can the H730P controller manage the four 480GB SATA SSDs together with older 2.5" mechanical drives I might keep?

Yes, the H730P supports mixed SATA SSD and HDD arrays across the eight 2.5" drive bays.
