Product identity

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with one Intel Gold 6132 14‑core processor running at 2.6 GHz and 64 GB of DDR4 memory in four 16 GB modules. Four 120 GB SATA RI SSDs are installed behind an H730P RAID controller, and the chassis provides eight 2.5‑inch drive bays for expansion.

Pre‑purchase checks

Verify that your rack can accommodate a 2U unit and that power distribution can supply the redundant 1100 W power supplies. Confirm that your network infrastructure supports the onboard Intel X550 dual 10 Gb RJ45 and dual 1 Gb RJ45 ports, and ensure you have PCIe Gen 3 slots available for any add‑in cards you plan to install.

Who this suits

This configuration suits organisations needing a dense compute node with hardware RAID and integrated remote management via iDRAC9 Enterprise. Buyers requiring more than one processor, larger storage capacity than the four included SSDs provide, or support for newer memory standards should evaluate other platforms.
