Purpose-built 2U rack server

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rackmount system equipped with two Intel Gold 6132 processors, each running at 2.6 GHz with 14 cores. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 memory across eight 16 GB modules and includes four 120 GB SATA SSDs managed by an H730P RAID controller. The server is designed for virtualisation, database or compute workloads that fit its installed capacity.

Dual 14-core processors and 128 GB DDR4

The decisive specification is the pair of 14-core Gold 6132 CPUs combined with 128 GB of PC4-2666 memory. This fixed processor and memory configuration determines whether the system can handle the intended thread count and working-set size without further upgrades.

Included rails, bezel, cords and iDRAC9 Enterprise

The bundle supplies rack rails, a front bezel without LCD, power cords and an iDRAC9 Enterprise licence for remote management. These items let the server go straight into a cabinet and be monitored out of band, while the four drive bays already populated leave four additional 2.5-inch bays free for expansion.

Questions about this item

What does the 2.6 GHz base clock on the Gold 6132 CPUs mean for real workloads?

Each of the two 14-core Gold 6132 processors runs at a 2.6 GHz base frequency with 19.25 MB cache, giving 28 cores total for multi-threaded applications.

How does the H730P controller limit the four 120 GB SATA SSDs?

The H730P RAID controller manages the four 120 GB SATA SSDs over SATA links, so throughput is capped by the SATA interface rather than the controller itself.

Will the 2U chassis with 2.5-inch bays fit my 19-inch rack?

The R740 is a 2U rack server with eight 2.5-inch drive bays and ships with rails for standard 19-inch rack mounting.
