Dell PowerEdge R740 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for virtualisation, database and compute-intensive workloads. Dual Intel Gold 6132 processors provide 14 cores each at 2.6 GHz with 19.25 MB cache. 512 GB of DDR4 memory is installed across 16 DIMM slots running at PC4-2400 speed.

Suited for dense virtualisation

This configuration suits environments that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a 2U form factor. The eight 2.5-inch drive bays and H730P RAID controller support the two included 800 GB SAS SSDs with room to expand. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or more than eight PCIe Gen 3 slots should look at a different platform.

512 GB DDR4 memory capacity

The single specification that decides fit is the 512 GB DDR4 memory installed as 16 modules of 32 GB each. This capacity determines how many virtual machines or how large a dataset can reside in memory simultaneously.

Should I choose the 2.6 GHz 14-core Gold 6132 processors or a different CPU option for this R740?

This unit is built with two Gold 6132 CPUs running at 2.6 GHz with 14 cores each; no alternative processor configuration is offered.

How does the 512 GB DDR4 memory perform when all 16 DIMM slots are populated at 2400 MT/s?

The system runs 16 x 32 GB DDR4 modules at PC4-2400, delivering the full 512 GB capacity across all channels.
