Ready-to-Rack 2U Server

This Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 arrives as a new 2U rack system with a single Intel Gold 6132 processor, 128GB of DDR4 memory and two 1.2TB 10K SAS drives managed by an H730P controller. Eight 2.5-inch drive bays and up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots provide internal expansion room. iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management, redundant 1100W power supplies and included rails simplify deployment.

Fits Single-Socket Workloads

The configuration suits buyers who need a balanced compute platform for virtualisation, database or application hosting with the installed 14-core CPU and 128GB memory ceiling. Organisations requiring dual-processor scaling, memory beyond 128GB or additional drive bays beyond the eight 2.5-inch slots should evaluate larger chassis options.

14-Core Gold 6132 Decides Fit

The installed Intel Gold 6132 runs at 2.6GHz with 14 cores and 19.25M cache, defining the processing capacity available in this single-socket build. If the workload demands more cores per socket or a second processor, this server will not meet that requirement.

Questions about this item

When will the 1.2TB SAS drives or the H730P RAID controller need replacement?

The 1.2TB 10K SAS drives are mechanical and will wear over time; the H730P controller has a battery-backed cache module that typically requires replacement after several years.

What limits sustained throughput on the H730P with two 1.2TB SAS drives?

The H730P controller and the dual 1.2TB 10K SAS drives set the sustained throughput ceiling; the 128GB DDR4 memory and PCIe Gen 3 slots do not bottleneck this configuration.

How loud and hot does the R740 run with the 1100W redundant PSUs under all-day load?

The 2U chassis uses high-speed fans to cool the Gold 6132 processor and 1100W redundant PSUs, producing noticeable noise and heat during continuous operation.
