DELL PowerEdge R740 2x Gold 6132 256GB 8x 120GB SSD rack server

Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 Server

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for virtualisation and database workloads. It ships with two Intel Gold 6132 processors, each offering 14 cores at 2.6GHz, and 256GB of DDR4 memory across 16 modules. Eight 120GB SATA SSDs provide fast boot and application storage. The system targets IT teams needing dense compute in a standard rack footprint.

2U Rack Chassis with PCIe Gen 3 Expansion

The 2U chassis occupies minimal rack space while housing eight 2.5-inch drive bays, all populated with the included SSDs. An H730P RAID controller manages the storage array without consuming a PCIe slot. Up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots remain available for network adapters, GPU accelerators or additional storage controllers. Dual 1100W redundant power supplies and sliding rails are included for immediate deployment.

Sustained Compute with iDRAC9 Enterprise Oversight

Under continuous load the dual 14-core CPUs maintain 2.6GHz across all cores, supported by 2666 MT/s memory bandwidth. The iDRAC9 Enterprise module provides out-of-band monitoring, firmware updates and remote console access independent of the operating system. Redundant power supplies and the H730P controller's cache protection preserve data integrity during extended operations. The platform suits environments where uptime and remote manageability are critical requirements.
