Ready-to-deploy 2U rack server

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 arrives fully configured with dual Gold 6132 processors, 128 GB of DDR4 memory and four 960 GB SAS SSDs behind an H730P controller. Eight 2.5-inch bays and up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots provide room for growth. iDRAC9 Enterprise and redundant 1100 W supplies support continuous operation.

Suited for virtualisation and database workloads

This system fits teams that need two 14-core CPUs at 2.6 GHz and hardware RAID for mixed read-write traffic. The installed 128 GB DDR4 and 10 Gb Ethernet ports handle moderate consolidation. Buyers who need more than eight drive bays, GPU compute or different networking should evaluate alternative platforms.

Dual Gold 6132 14-core processors

Two Intel Gold 6132 CPUs deliver 28 cores at 2.6 GHz with 19.25 MB cache each. This core count and clock speed determine throughput for multi-threaded applications and virtual machine density. Verify that the thread count matches your licensing and performance targets before purchase.

Questions about this item

What power source is needed for the dual 1100W redundant PSUs?

Each 1100W redundant power supply requires a standard C13 or C19 PDU outlet; two circuits are recommended for full redundancy.

Will the Intel X550 2x 10Gb RJ45 and 2x 1Gb RJ45 ports link with my existing Cat5e patch panel?

The 1Gb RJ45 ports negotiate at 1Gb over Cat5e; the 10Gb RJ45 ports need Cat6a or better to reach 10Gb speeds.

How can I confirm the H730P RAID controller sees all four 960GB SAS SSDs after installation?

Open the H730P BIOS during POST or log into iDRAC9 Enterprise; both will list each 960GB SAS SSD and show the configured virtual disk status.
