Ready-to-run 2U rack server

This Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 ships with dual Intel Gold 6132 processors, each delivering 14 cores at 2.6 GHz. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 memory across 16 modules and four 480 GB SATA SSDs managed by an H730P RAID controller. It targets IT teams that need a pre-configured platform for virtualization or database workloads without additional assembly.

Slide-in rails and redundant power simplify

The unit arrives with bezel, rails and power cords so it can be racked immediately in a standard 2U slot. Dual 1100 W supplies provide redundancy, and iDRAC9 Enterprise enables remote firmware updates and hardware monitoring before the operating system loads. The only common delay occurs when the existing rack depth or power distribution units cannot accommodate the 2.5-inch drive bay chassis.

Verify rack depth, power connectors

Confirm that your cabinet can accept the 2U form factor with sufficient rear clearance for cable routing. Ensure the PDU offers compatible IEC sockets for the redundant supplies. Check that the 10 Gb RJ45 and 1 Gb RJ45 ports on the Intel X550 NDC match your switch infrastructure. The eight PCIe Gen 3 slots remain available for additional controllers, but no optical drive bay is present.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the server is operating correctly after initial setup?

Check iDRAC9 Enterprise for system health, confirm 256GB memory and both Gold 6132 CPUs are detected, and ensure the H730P controller shows all 4x 480GB SSDs in a healthy RAID array.

What ships with the server and what must I purchase separately?

The unit includes the 2U chassis with 8x 2.5" bays, 2x Gold 6132 processors, 16x 16GB DDR4 modules, 4x 480GB SATA SSDs, H730P RAID controller, 1100W redundant PSUs, bezel, rails and power cords; additional drives or PCIe cards are not included.

Which drive-bay configuration suits a workload needing more local storage?

The chassis supports up to 8x 2.5" drives; this build populates 4 bays with 480GB SSDs, leaving 4 empty bays for future expansion.
