Dell PowerEdge R740 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server system built for data-centre workloads. It ships with two Intel Gold 6132 processors running at 2.6 GHz, each delivering 14 cores. Memory is configured as 32 GB DDR4 in two 16 GB modules at 2666 MT/s. Four 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives and an H730P RAID controller provide the initial storage foundation.

Suits buyers needing dense 2U compute

This server fits organisations that want up to eight 2.5-inch drive bays, up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots and integrated Intel X550 dual-port 10 GbE plus dual-port 1 GbE networking. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise. Buyers who need more than 32 GB of memory, additional drive bays beyond eight, or a different RAID controller should look at other configurations.

Dual Gold 6132 14-core CPUs at 2.6 GHz

The pair of 14-core Gold 6132 processors running at 2.6 GHz with 19.25 MB cache each defines the compute ceiling for this unit. This core count and clock speed determine whether the server matches the thread capacity required for the target workload.

Questions about this item

How much heat and noise do the two Gold 6132 CPUs and four 1.2TB 10K SAS drives generate during continuous operation?

The server uses a 1100W redundant power supply and iDRAC9 Enterprise to manage thermal thresholds, while the 2.5-inch drive bays and PCIe Gen 3 slots share the chassis airflow path.

What rack infrastructure and cabling must already be in place for this 2U server to operate?

A standard 19-inch rack with 2U clearance, rails for the R740 chassis, and network patch cables for the Intel X550 2x 10Gb RJ45 and 2x 1Gb RJ45 ports are required.

Will the H730P RAID controller and 2666 DDR4 memory work with existing SAS arrays and DIMMs from earlier PowerEdge systems?

The H730P supports SAS drives in the 8x 2.5-inch bays, and the installed 2x 16GB PC4-2666 modules populate two of the available DDR4 slots.
