Dell PowerEdge R740 2U Server with Gold 6132

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server powered by a single Intel Gold 6132 processor with 14 cores running at 2.6 GHz. It includes 32 GB of DDR4 memory across two 16 GB modules and four 800 GB SAS SSDs managed by an H730P RAID controller. The system provides up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots and an Intel X550 network daughter card with two 10 Gb RJ45 and two 1 Gb RJ45 ports. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise.

Suits virtualisation hosts needing dense 2.5-inch

This configuration fits teams running hypervisors or database workloads that benefit from the 14-core CPU and hardware RAID across four SAS SSDs. The eight 2.5-inch drive bays allow future expansion within the same chassis. Buyers who need dual-processor performance from day one or more than 32 GB of memory should look at other platforms.

Single Gold 6132 processor limits peak

The server ships with one 14-core Gold 6132 CPU, so maximum parallel performance is capped at that single socket. Workloads that scale across two processors will not reach their full potential on this unit. Adding a second compatible processor later is possible, but the supplied system delivers only single-socket compute capacity.

Questions about this item

Will the 2U chassis with 8x 2.5" drive bays fit a standard 19-inch rack?

Yes, the PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server designed for standard 19-inch racks and includes sliding rails for secure mounting.

How do I install the Gold 6132 processor and DDR4 memory correctly?

Install the single Gold 6132 CPU into socket 1, then populate the 2x 16GB DDR4 modules into the matching channels for the 14-core configuration.

When should I replace the 800GB SAS SSDs or the 1100W redundant PSUs?

Monitor SSD wear via the H730P controller and iDRAC9 Enterprise; replace drives when media wear approaches threshold and PSUs if a redundancy alert appears.
