2U rack server for compute density

The Dell PowerEdge R740 fits into a standard 2U rack space and delivers a single Intel Gold 6132 processor with 14 cores running at 2.6 GHz. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 memory arranged as four 16 GB modules at 2666 MT/s. The platform targets workloads that need strong per-core performance in a compact form factor.

Sustained load behaviour with redundant power

Dual 1100 W redundant power supplies keep the system running if one unit fails, supporting continuous operation during extended processing windows. The H730P RAID controller manages the two 1.2 TB 10 K SAS drives with hardware acceleration for steady throughput. Eight PCIe Gen 3 slots remain available for additional accelerators or network cards without reducing airflow.

Storage capacity decides fit

Only two 2.5-inch drive bays are populated, leaving six bays empty for future expansion up to the chassis limit of eight drives. Buyers who need more storage out of the box must add drives themselves. The included iDRAC9 Enterprise licence provides full remote management for deployment and monitoring at scale.

Questions about this item

How much heat does the 1100 W redundant PSU and 2U chassis produce when the 14-core Gold 6132 runs all day?

The 1100 W redundant PSU and 2U chassis fans are designed for continuous data-centre loads; the 14-core Gold 6132 draws significant power under full load, so expect noticeable heat output requiring adequate rack airflow.

What rack infrastructure must I already have to install this 2U server with 8x 2.5" drive bays?

You need a standard 19-inch rack with at least 2U of free space, compatible mounting rails, and sufficient power circuits for the dual 1100 W PSUs plus network cabling for the Intel X550 10Gb and 1Gb RJ45 ports.

Will the PCIe Gen 3 slots and H730P RAID controller work with my existing SAS drives and expansion cards?

The H730P RAID controller supports SAS drives, and the up to 8 PCIe Gen 3 slots accept standard expansion cards, so your current SAS storage and compatible PCIe peripherals should integrate without issue.
