2U Rack Server with Dual Gold 6132

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Gold 6132 processors. Each CPU runs at 2.6 GHz with 14 cores and 19.25M cache. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 memory across 16 DIMMs and four 7.68 TB SAS SSDs managed by an H730P controller.

Suited for dense virtualisation

Organisations needing high core counts and large memory in a compact 2U form factor will benefit. Buyers who require more than eight 2.5 inch drive bays or who need integrated optical media should look elsewhere. The server ships without an optical drive.

Four 7.68 TB SAS SSDs on H730P RAID

Storage capacity and redundancy are defined by the four installed 7.68 TB SAS SSDs and the H730P RAID controller. This combination determines whether the server meets your performance and data-protection requirements.

Questions about this item

How many 2.5 inch drive bays does the R740 chassis provide for the 7.68TB SAS SSDs?

The chassis has eight 2.5 inch drive bays, and four are populated with 7.68TB SAS SSDs.

Which slot does the H730P RAID controller occupy during installation, and what step is often missed?

The H730P installs in a dedicated internal slot; the step often missed is connecting the SAS cables from the backplane to the controller before closing the chassis.

When will the 1100W redundant power supplies likely need replacement?

Replace a power supply when the iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management console reports a PSU fault or the front-panel amber LED indicates a supply failure.
