Ready-to-run 2U rack server
This Dell PowerEdge R740 arrives fully assembled with a single Intel Gold 6132 processor running at 2.6GHz across 14 cores and 128GB of DDR4 memory installed as eight 16GB modules at 2666 MT/s. Two 7.68TB SAS SSDs sit behind the H730P RAID controller, and dual 1100W redundant power supplies are already fitted. The iDRAC9 Enterprise module provides remote management out of the box.
Check rack depth and power feed
The chassis occupies 2U of rack space and uses eight 2.5-inch drive bays, so confirm your cabinet depth and rail clearance before ordering. Network connectivity relies on an Intel X550 NDC delivering two 10Gb RJ45 and two 1Gb RJ45 ports — verify your switch ports and cabling match those interfaces. Only one CPU socket is populated; the second socket is vacant if future expansion is planned. PCIe Gen 3 slots are available for additional cards.
Included rails, bezel and power cords
Sliding rails and a front bezel without an LCD panel are bundled, eliminating separate rail-kit purchases. Standard power cords are also supplied for immediate connection to compatible PDUs. No optical drive is present, so OS installation must use USB, network boot or the iDRAC virtual media feature. The H730P controller manages the installed SSDs and any drives you add later.

Questions about this item
What comes in the box and what must I buy separately?
The server includes the 2U chassis with 8 x 2.5" drive bays, one Gold 6132 14C processor, 128GB DDR4 in 8 x 16GB modules, 2 x 7.68TB SAS SSD, H730P RAID controller, Intel X550 10Gb/1Gb network card, redundant 1100W PSU, iDRAC9 Enterprise, bezel, rails and power cords. Extra drives, additional CPUs or PCIe cards are not included.
Should I choose the 7.68TB SAS SSD capacity or a different drive option?
This unit ships with 2 x 7.68TB SAS SSD installed. The chassis supports up to 8 x 2.5" bays, so you can add more SAS SSDs or HDDs later if you need greater capacity or a different performance tier.
What does the 2.6GHz 14-core Gold 6132 figure mean for real workloads?
The single Gold 6132 runs at 2.6GHz with 14 cores and 19.25M cache, delivering 28 threads for virtualization, database or compute tasks. The 128GB DDR4-2666 memory and H730P controller keep storage latency low for those workloads.
