2U Rack Server with Dual Gold 6132 CPUs

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rackmount server built around two Intel Gold 6132 processors. Each CPU delivers 14 cores at 2.6 GHz with 19.25 MB cache. The system ships with 256 GB of DDR4 memory across 16 DIMMs and four 800 GB SAS SSDs managed by an H730P RAID controller. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise.

Suits virtualisation clusters and database nodes

This configuration fits workloads that demand high core counts, large memory capacity and hardware RAID redundancy in a dense 2U chassis. The eight 2.5-inch drive bays allow future storage expansion, while up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots support additional networking or accelerator cards. Buyers who require an optical drive, a tower chassis or more than four pre-installed SSDs should evaluate alternative platforms.

Four 800 GB SAS SSDs on H730P controller

The installed storage consists of four 800 GB SAS solid-state drives connected to the H730P RAID controller. This combination determines usable capacity, redundancy options and I/O performance for the initial deployment. Verify that the SAS interface and 800 GB per drive meet the application requirements before purchase.

Questions about this item

Will the 2U R740 chassis fit a standard 19-inch rack?

Yes, the 2U R740 is designed for a standard 19-inch rack and the rails are included with the server.

What is the correct order for installing the 16 DDR4 memory modules across the two Gold 6132 processors?

Populate all 16 slots evenly, eight per CPU, following the channel sequence shown on the air shroud label to enable quad-channel operation.

When should the 800GB SAS SSDs be replaced under typical write workloads?

Monitor the SSD wear gauge in iDRAC9 Enterprise; plan replacement once the remaining endurance drops below ten percent.
