Dual Gold 6132 14-core server for virtualisation

The PowerEdge R740 ships with two Intel Gold 6132 processors running at 2.6 GHz, each with 14 cores and 19.25 MB cache, plus 128 GB of DDR4 memory across eight 16 GB PC4-2666 modules. It targets organisations consolidating workloads or running dense virtualisation clusters in a 2U rack footprint.

Check rack depth, power feed and PCIe card length

The chassis occupies 2U and accepts up to eight 2.5 inch drives, of which four bays are filled with 480 GB SATA SSDs behind an H730P RAID controller. Verify your cabinet can supply redundant 1100 W feeds and that any add-in cards fit within the eight PCIe Gen 3 slots before ordering.

Redundant 1100 W PSUs handle sustained load

Dual hot-plug 1100 W supplies share the load, keeping fan speeds moderate under typical compute intensity. iDRAC9 Enterprise provides remote thermal monitoring and alerting so operators can react before temperatures affect stability.

Questions about this item

What comes with the PowerEdge R740 and do I need to buy rails or power cords separately?

The server ships with bezel, rails and power cords included. No optical drive is fitted.

Should I choose the 128 GB DDR4 configuration or add more memory later?

128 GB is installed as eight 16 GB PC4-2666 modules. All slots are populated so any increase requires replacing existing sticks.

What does the 2.6 GHz Gold 6132 rating mean for real workloads?

Two 14-core Gold 6132 CPUs at 2.6 GHz with 19.25 MB cache each deliver 28 cores total for multi-threaded applications.
