Dell PowerEdge R740 2U rack server Gold 6132 14C 128GB 4x 120GB SSD H730P

2U rack server for dense compute

The Dell PowerEdge R740 fits into a standard 2U rack slot and delivers fourteen cores at 2.6 GHz from a single Intel Gold 6132 processor. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 memory installed across eight 16 GB modules running at 2666 MT/s. This configuration targets workloads that need strong per-core performance in a compact form factor.

Front-access storage and redundant power

The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch drive bays with four 120 GB SATA SSDs already installed behind a tool-less front panel. A PERC H730P RAID controller manages the array with hardware acceleration. Dual 1100 W power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management keep the platform running and monitorable even when staff are off-site.

Fourteen-core Gold 6132 sets the ceiling

The installed CPU defines the maximum thread count and clock speed available without a hardware change. Buyers who need more than fourteen cores or higher base frequencies must select a different server. The single-socket layout also limits total memory capacity to the twelve DIMM slots wired to this processor.
