Dual Gold 6132 14-core rack server

This Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Gold 6132 processors, each running at 2.6 GHz with 14 cores and 19.25 MB cache. It ships with 32 GB of DDR4 memory installed as two 16 GB PC4-2666 modules. The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch drive bays and up to eight PCIe Gen 3 expansion slots for additional cards.

Ready for virtualisation and database workloads

The dual 14-core CPUs and H730P RAID controller suit environments running hypervisors, business databases or high-throughput file services. Six 300 GB 10K SAS drives are fitted, delivering fast spindle access for mixed read-write patterns. Buyers who need more than eight 2.5-inch bays or a different drive interface should consider other platforms.

Eight 2.5-inch bays with H730P RAID

The single specification that decides fit is the storage chassis: eight 2.5-inch bays served by an H730P controller. Six bays are populated with 300 GB 10K SAS drives, leaving two bays open for expansion. The controller manages RAID levels supported by the H730P and connects through the PCIe Gen 3 backplane.
