2U rack server with dual 14-core CPUs

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Gold 6132 processors at 2.6 GHz, each providing 14 cores. It ships with 32 GB of DDR4 memory in two 16 GB modules and two 960 GB SAS SSDs managed by an H730P RAID controller.

Suits compute-heavy workloads in a compact chassis

This server targets teams that need high core density and fast local storage in a 2U form factor. Buyers who require more than 32 GB of memory out of the box, or who need drive bays beyond the eight 2.5-inch slots, should look at other configurations.

H730P RAID controller with two 960 GB SAS SSDs

The H730P controller handles the installed solid-state drives and supports additional drives in the remaining bays. Eight PCIe Gen 3 slots and an Intel X550 network daughter card with two 10 Gb and two 1 Gb RJ45 ports provide expansion and connectivity. A redundant 1100 W power supply and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management are included.

Questions about this item

What power connections are required for the 1100W redundant power supply?

The server includes two 1100W redundant power supplies and ships with power cords; connect both to separate circuits for full redundancy.

Can I keep using my existing PCIe Gen 3 expansion cards in the eight available slots?

Yes, the chassis provides up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots, so current Gen 3 cards install directly without adapters.

How do I confirm the iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management is active after first boot?

Open a browser to the iDRAC IP shown on the front LCD panel; the login screen confirms the Enterprise licence is running.
