Dual 14-core Gold 6132 server

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Gold 6132 processors. Each CPU runs at 2.6 GHz with 14 cores and 19.25 MB cache. The system ships with 128 GB of DDR4 memory in eight 16 GB modules operating at 2666 MT/s.

Virtualisation hosts needing 10 GbE

This configuration suits teams running virtualised workloads that benefit from dual 10 Gb RJ45 ports and dual 1 Gb RJ45 links on the Intel X550 NDC. Buyers who need more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays or a larger memory footprint should consider a different chassis.

Check PCIe Gen 3 slot clearance

Verify that any add-in cards fit within the eight PCIe Gen 3 slots available in the 2U form factor. Confirm that the 1100 W redundant power supplies match your rack power distribution and that iDRAC9 Enterprise meets your remote management requirements.

Questions about this item

What rack space and power circuits must be available before installing this 2U R740?

The server occupies 2U of rack height and ships with dual 1100W redundant power supplies, so two compatible PDU outlets are required.

Will the Intel X550 NDC with two 10Gb RJ45 and two 1Gb RJ45 ports negotiate down to legacy 100Mb switches?

Yes, the X550 network daughter card auto-negotiates speeds, allowing the 10Gb and 1Gb RJ45 ports to link with older 100Mb infrastructure.

How can I confirm the H730P RAID controller sees all six 480GB SATA SSDs after first boot?

Open the iDRAC9 Enterprise web interface, navigate to Storage > Controller H730P, and verify that six 480GB SATA SSDs appear in the Physical Disks list.
