2U Rack Server With Dual 14-Core CPUs

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Gold 6132 processors. Each CPU runs at 2.6 GHz with 14 cores and 19.25M cache. The system ships with 512 GB of DDR4 memory across sixteen 32 GB modules operating at PC4-2400 speed.

H730P RAID Controller And Four 960 GB SSDs

The integrated H730P storage controller manages four installed 960 GB SATA SSDs in the 2.5-inch drive bays. The chassis supports up to eight such bays, leaving four slots available for expansion. Redundant 1100 W power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management are included.

Suited For Virtualisation And Database Workloads

This configuration suits environments needing high core counts and large memory capacity for virtualisation or in-memory databases. Buyers who need more internal storage bays than the eight 2.5-inch slots provide should consider a different chassis. The lack of an optical drive means OS installation requires network or USB media.

Questions about this item

How often should the 1100W redundant power supplies be inspected or replaced?

Dell recommends checking the 1100W redundant power supplies during routine server maintenance; the hot-plug design lets you swap a unit without downtime.

Which component reaches its thermal limit first when both Gold 6132 CPUs run at 2.6GHz continuously?

The dual 14-core Gold 6132 processors hit their thermal ceiling before the 512GB DDR4 memory or the H730P RAID controller under sustained full load.

What is the typical acoustic output of the R740 2U chassis with all fans spinning at 100% duty cycle?

The 2U R740 chassis runs its high-speed fans at full speed under heavy load, producing data-centre grade noise levels unsuitable for office environments.
