Dual 14-Core Gold 6132 Server

The Dell EMC 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 32GB of DDR4 memory installed as two 16GB PC4-2666 modules. Four 480GB SATA SSDs are fitted in the 2.5-inch drive bays.

Virtualisation Hosts and Database Nodes

This configuration suits workloads that benefit from high core counts and redundant 1100W power, such as virtualisation clusters or mid-size databases. The H730P RAID controller and iDRAC9 Enterprise support advanced storage management and remote administration. Buyers who need more than 32GB of memory or additional drive bays populated should look at other configurations. Organisations requiring GPU acceleration or fibre-channel connectivity will need a different chassis.

2U Rack Height With 8-Bay Chassis

The server occupies 2U of rack space and uses a chassis that supports up to eight 2.5-inch drives. Only four bays are populated with the included 480GB SSDs, leaving room for expansion. The installed H730P controller manages the current array and any future drives. Verify that your rack depth and power distribution match the 1100W redundant supply before purchase.

Questions about this item

Will the 2U rack height and 8x 2.5" drive bays align with my existing rack shelves and cabling for older 2.5" SATA drives?

The server occupies 2U and provides 8x 2.5" bays; four bays already hold 480GB SATA SSDs and the remaining four accept additional 2.5" SATA drives you may already own.

How can I verify the dual Gold 6132 processors and 32GB DDR4 are recognised and healthy after first boot?

Log into iDRAC9 Enterprise; the System Inventory screen will show two Intel Gold 6132 14C CPUs at 2.6GHz and 32GB DDR4 (2x 16GB PC4-2666) with no memory errors.

Which items ship in the box — bezel, rails, power cords — and what must I source separately for the four empty 2.5" bays?

Bezel (no LCD), sliding rails and power cords are included; you must purchase any additional 2.5" SATA SSDs or HDDs to populate the four free drive bays.
