2U Rack Server with Dual Gold 6132 CPUs

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Gold 6132 processors, each with 14 cores at 2.6GHz. It ships with 64GB of DDR4 memory in four 16GB modules and a PERC H730P RAID controller. Four 960GB SAS SSDs are pre-installed in the 2.5-inch drive bays.

Suited for virtualisation hosts needing PCIe Gen 3

The chassis provides up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots for add-in cards such as GPUs or additional network adapters. The Intel X550 NDC delivers two 10Gb and two 1Gb RJ45 ports out of the box. Buyers who need more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays or a different storage protocol should look at other platforms.

H730P RAID Controller with 4x 960GB SAS SSDs

The integrated PERC H730P manages the four installed 960GB SAS SSDs and supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Four additional 2.5-inch bays remain free for capacity growth. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise with a dedicated network port.

Questions about this item

What drive maintenance or replacement should I expect for the 4x 960GB SAS SSDs?

The four 960GB SAS SSDs are the primary storage; replace any that report SMART errors or exceed their write endurance. The chassis holds eight 2.5" bays so you can add or swap drives without removing the server.

Which limit appears first under sustained load on the dual Gold 6132 14C processors?

The two 14-core Gold 6132 CPUs at 2.6GHz will hit thermal or power ceilings before the 64GB DDR4 or the H730P controller saturate, especially in the 2U airflow path.

How much power does the 1100W redundant supply draw and how loud are the fans during all-day operation?

Dual 1100W redundant PSUs share the load; typical draw depends on CPU utilisation and the four SAS SSDs. Fan speed ramps with inlet temperature so noise rises under heavy compute load.
