2U rack server with dual Gold 6132 CPUs

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Gold 6132 processors running at 2.6 GHz, each providing 14 cores and 19.25 MB cache. It ships with 32 GB of DDR4 memory in a 2 x 16 GB configuration and eight 300 GB 10K SAS drives managed by an H730P RAID controller. The platform targets organisations that need dense compute and storage in a standard rack footprint.

Replaces older 2U platforms needing more cores

The dual 14-core configuration delivers a substantial thread count increase over earlier dual-socket servers limited to lower core counts. Integrated Intel X550 networking adds two 10 Gb RJ45 ports alongside two 1 Gb ports, removing the need for separate NICs when upgrading 1 Gb-only infrastructure. The jump is worth it when workloads demand higher parallelism and 10 Gb connectivity without consuming PCIe slots.

Fits standard racks and frees PCIe slots

Eight 2.5-inch drive bays are populated, leaving internal expansion focused on up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots for GPUs, additional NICs or storage controllers. Redundant 1100 W power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management simplify deployment in lights-out environments. The server includes rails, bezel and power cords, so no extra mounting hardware is required for immediate rack installation.

Questions about this item

Will the 2U R740 chassis fit a standard 19-inch rack with the included rails?

The 2U R740 chassis mounts in a standard 19-inch rack using the supplied sliding rails, which lock into square or threaded holes without extra brackets.

What is the correct order for seating the two Gold 6132 processors and the 32GB DDR4 memory?

Install both Gold 6132 CPUs first, then insert the two 16GB DDR4 modules into the appropriate slots so each processor has local memory.

When should the 300GB 10K SAS drives or the 1100W redundant PSUs be replaced?

Replace a 300GB 10K SAS drive when the H730P controller flags a predictive failure, and swap a 1100W PSU if its status LED turns amber.
