2U Rack Server with Dual Gold 6132 CPUs

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Gold 6132 processors. Each CPU runs at 2.6GHz with 14 cores and 19.25M cache. The system includes 256GB of DDR4 memory arranged as 16 modules of 16GB PC4-2666. It is built for compute-intensive workloads in a compact rack form factor.

Suited for Virtualisation and Database Hosts

This configuration suits environments that need high core counts and large memory capacity, such as virtualisation clusters or database servers. The four 960GB SAS SSDs and H730P RAID controller deliver fast storage performance. Buyers who require more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays or a different CPU specification should consider other platforms.

Eight PCIe Gen 3 Expansion Slots

The chassis provides up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots for add-in cards such as GPUs, network adapters or storage controllers. Network connectivity includes an Intel X550 controller with two 10Gb RJ45 and two 1Gb RJ45 ports. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise. A redundant 1100W power supply, rails, bezel and power cords are included.

Questions about this item

Will my existing 2.5-inch SAS drives work in the remaining four bays of the R740?

Yes, the chassis supports up to eight 2.5-inch drives and four bays are free after the installed 960GB SAS SSDs.

How do I confirm the H730P controller sees all four 960GB SSDs in a healthy RAID array?

Open the H730P BIOS or iDRAC9 Enterprise storage view; all four 960GB SAS SSDs should appear online with the configured RAID level.

Are rails, bezel and power cords included, or must I order them separately?

Bezel (no LCD), rails and power cords are included with the server.
