2U Rack Server for Virtualisation

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built around one Intel Gold 6132 processor with 14 cores at 2.6 GHz and 128 GB of DDR4 memory. It suits teams running virtualised workloads or databases that need strong single-thread performance and redundant power. The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch drive bays for future storage growth.

H730P RAID and iDRAC9 Enterprise

The bundled H730P controller manages the four installed 960 GB SAS SSDs with hardware RAID levels and cache protection. iDRAC9 Enterprise adds dedicated remote console, virtual media and lifecycle automation so administrators can deploy, monitor and update firmware without physical access. Redundant 1100 W power supplies keep the system running during a module failure.

PCIe Gen 3 and 10GbE Limits

Up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots support additional network or accelerator cards, but bandwidth tops out at Gen 3 speeds. The onboard Intel X550 delivers two 10 Gb RJ45 ports and two 1 Gb RJ45 ports, capping wired throughput at 10 Gbps per port. No optical drive bay is present, so OS installs require USB or network boot.

Questions about this item

What maintenance will the 1100 W redundant power supplies need over time?

The redundant 1100 W supplies are hot-pluggable; a failed unit can be swapped without shutting down the server.

Which limit appears first when the Gold 6132 runs at full load continuously?

The 14-core processor at 2.6 GHz will hit its thermal ceiling before the 1100 W power budget is exhausted.

How loud and hot does the 2U chassis get with all four 960 GB SAS SSDs active all day?

The R740 2U chassis uses variable-speed fans; noise rises with inlet temperature but stays within data-centre norms.
