Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 2U rack server
The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Gold 6132 processors, each running at 2.6GHz with 14 cores and 19.25M cache. It ships with 32GB of DDR4 memory in a 2x 16GB PC4-2666 configuration. Four 960GB SAS SSDs provide fast storage through the H730P RAID controller, and the chassis supports up to eight 2.5-inch drive bays.
Suited for compute-heavy workloads needing dense
This server fits workloads that demand high core counts and fast SAS storage in a compact form factor. The dual 14-core CPUs and redundant 1100W power supplies support continuous operation. Buyers who require more than 32GB of memory or more than four installed drives should look at a different configuration. The eight PCIe Gen 3 slots allow expansion for networking or accelerator cards.
32GB DDR4 memory capacity
The installed memory is 32GB DDR4 arranged as two 16GB modules at PC4-2666 speed. This capacity determines how many virtual machines or database instances can run concurrently. If the target workload needs a larger memory footprint, additional DIMMs must be sourced separately. The eight 2.5-inch bays leave room to add more SAS SSDs later.

Questions about this item
What rack space and power connections do I need for this 2U server with dual 1100W PSUs?
The server occupies 2U of rack height and includes redundant 1100W power supplies with power cords supplied.
Can the Intel X550 10Gb and 1Gb RJ45 ports connect directly to my existing copper network switches?
Yes, the NDC provides two 10Gb RJ45 and two 1Gb RJ45 ports for standard copper Ethernet cabling.
How do I confirm the H730P controller sees all four 960GB SAS SSDs and the iDRAC9 Enterprise is active?
During POST the H730P BIOS lists each 960GB drive, and the iDRAC9 Enterprise web interface shows system health and firmware versions.
