Dell PowerEdge R740 dual Gold 6132 server

This 2U rack server ships with two Intel Gold 6132 processors, each running at 2.6GHz with 14 cores. The system includes 128GB of DDR4 memory arranged as eight 16GB modules at 2666MHz. It is built for virtualisation, database or compute clusters that need high core density in a compact chassis.

Tool-less rails and front drive access

The unit comes with sliding rails for quick rack mounting and the front panel exposes eight 2.5-inch drive bays already populated with 7.68TB SAS SSDs. The H730P RAID controller manages the array, but its cache module must be seated firmly or the controller will report a degraded state on first boot.

Steady throughput with redundant 1100W supplies

Dual 1100W power supplies share the load so sustained workloads do not trip a single unit. The iDRAC9 Enterprise module provides continuous remote monitoring of thermals and power draw, letting administrators catch thermal drift before it throttles the 14-core CPUs during long render or analytics jobs.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the RAID controller is managing the 8x 7.68TB SAS SSD array correctly after power-on?

Open the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface and check the H730P controller status. All eight drives should show as online in a single virtual disk with no degraded or failed indicators.

What ships with the server and what must be sourced separately?

The 2U chassis includes two Gold 6132 processors, eight 16GB DDR4 modules, eight 7.68TB SAS SSDs, the H730P RAID controller, Intel X550 network daughter card, 1100W redundant power supplies, bezel, rails and power cords. No optical drive is fitted.

Which drive capacity matches the factory-configured 8-bay layout?

The system arrives with eight 7.68TB SAS SSDs installed, filling every 2.5-inch bay. This is the only capacity combination supplied with this configuration.
