Dell PowerEdge R740 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for virtualisation and database workloads. It ships with two Intel Gold 6132 processors, each running at 2.6 GHz with 14 cores and 19.25 MB cache. Memory is 32 GB DDR4 in a 2x 16 GB PC4-2666 configuration. Storage consists of four 800 GB SAS SSDs managed by an H730P RAID controller.

Suited for dense compute clusters.

This server suits organisations that need high core counts in a compact 2U form factor with 10 GbE networking built in. The eight PCIe Gen 3 slots allow storage or networking expansion. Buyers who require GPU acceleration for deep learning or workloads demanding more than 32 GB of memory out of the box should evaluate other platforms.

Eight 2.5-inch drive bays define storage ceiling

The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch drive bays, of which four are populated with 800 GB SAS SSDs. The H730P controller supports hardware RAID across the installed and future drives. This bay count is the limiting factor for anyone planning large local datasets or additional hot-swap capacity.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.5-inch SAS SSDs fit in my existing 2.5-inch drive cages?

Yes, the server uses 2.5-inch drive bays and ships with four 800GB SAS SSDs installed.

How can I confirm the dual Gold 6132 processors are recognised after installation?

Check iDRAC9 Enterprise or the BIOS; both should show two 14-core CPUs at 2.6GHz with 19.25M cache each.

Do the box contents include rails, bezel and power cords or must I source them separately?

Rails, a non-LCD bezel and power cords are included; no extra purchase is required for those items.
