2U rack server with dual Gold 6132 CPUs

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Gold 6132 processors, each providing 14 cores at 2.6 GHz. It ships with 32 GB of DDR4 memory in a 2×16 GB configuration. This system targets organisations that need dense compute for virtualisation, database or high-performance workloads in a standard rack footprint.

Expansion capacity inside the 2U chassis

The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch drive bays, with two 120 GB SATA SSDs already installed on an H730P RAID controller. Up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots are available for additional network, storage or accelerator cards. Integrated networking uses an Intel X550 controller delivering two 10 Gb RJ45 and two 1 Gb RJ45 ports. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise, and the server includes rails, bezel and power cords.

Dual 1100 W redundant power supplies

Two hot-plug 1100 W power supplies provide redundancy and share the load during normal operation. The power supply efficiency and fan curves are managed by the iDRAC firmware to balance thermal performance and acoustic output in typical data-centre environments. No optical drive is fitted, freeing internal airflow for the CPU and memory zones.

Questions about this item

How many 2.5 inch drive bays does the R740 chassis provide for future storage expansion?

The R740 chassis provides 8 bays for 2.5 inch drives; two are occupied by the installed 120GB SATA SSDs, leaving six bays available for additional storage.

What is the noise and heat profile when the dual Gold 6132 processors run at full load continuously?

Dual 14 core Gold 6132 CPUs at 2.6GHz draw significant power under sustained load; the redundant 1100W power supplies and integrated fan array manage thermals, producing noticeable rack-level noise typical for 2U density.

Which rack rails and power cords are required to install this 2U server in a standard cabinet?

The server includes Dell sliding rails and two IEC C13 power cords for the redundant 1100W supplies; ensure your rack has square-hole mounting and two PDU outlets per unit.
