Ready-to-deploy 2U rack server

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rackmount server system delivered new with dual Intel Gold 6132 processors, 32 GB DDR4 memory, eight 120 GB SATA RI SSDs and an H730P RAID controller. It includes redundant 1100 W power supplies, iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management, and up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots for expansion.

Suited for virtualisation hosts

This configuration suits teams that need dense 2.5-inch drive capacity and dual 14-core CPUs for multi-threaded applications. Buyers who require GPU compute acceleration or higher single-thread clock speeds should consider other platforms.

Eight 2.5-inch drive bays with H730P RAID

The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch bays populated with 120 GB SATA SSDs behind the H730P controller, setting the maximum internal drive count and RAID capability for this unit.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 2.5" SATA SSDs into the R740's drive bays and which step is commonly missed?

Slide each 120GB SSD into the front 2.5" bays until the carrier clicks, then configure the H730P RAID controller in the BIOS before the OS install; skipping the RAID setup is the step most often missed.

What maintenance will the 1100W redundant power supplies need over time?

The 1100W redundant PSUs are hot-swappable; replace a failed unit by pulling the handle and inserting the new module without powering down the server.

Which limit appears first when the dual Gold 6132 CPUs run sustained workloads?

The 14-core Gold 6132 processors at 2.6GHz will hit thermal throttling before the 32GB DDR4 memory or the eight 120GB SATA SSDs become bottlenecks.
