Dual Gold 6132 14-Core Server

This Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Gold 6132 processors running at 2.6 GHz, each with 14 cores and 19.25 MB cache. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 memory in eight 16 GB modules at 2666 MT/s. The system includes four 7.68 TB SAS SSDs managed by an H730P RAID controller and an iDRAC9 Enterprise module for remote management.

Who This Suits And Who Should Look Elsewhere

Organisations needing dense compute with high core count and fast local storage will find this configuration ready for virtualisation clusters or database workloads. Buyers who require more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays or additional PCIe Gen 3 slots beyond the eight available should consider a different chassis.

128 GB DDR4 At 2666 MT/s

The installed memory consists of eight 16 GB DDR4 DIMMs operating at 2666 MT/s, filling half the DIMM slots on a dual-socket platform. This capacity supports moderate consolidation ratios but may limit very large in-memory databases or heavy virtualisation density.

Questions about this item

What power infrastructure is needed for the 1100W redundant supply?

The server includes dual 1100W hot-plug power supplies and ships with standard IEC C13 cords; connect each to separate PDU circuits for full redundancy.

Will the H730P RAID controller recognise my existing 2.5" SAS drives?

Yes — the H730P supports 2.5" SAS SSDs and HDDs; the chassis provides eight drive bays, four of which are already populated with 7.68TB SAS SSDs.

How can I confirm the 128GB DDR4 memory is running at 2666 MT/s after install?

Check the iDRAC9 Enterprise inventory page or the BIOS memory configuration screen; both report each DIMM speed as PC4-2666.
