2U rack server for virtualisation workloads

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 fits a standard 19-inch rack and delivers a 14-core Intel Gold 6132 processor running at 2.6 GHz with 32 GB of DDR4 memory. Four 300 GB 10K SAS drives provide fast local storage for databases or virtual machines. The system is aimed at IT teams that need dense compute in a 2U form factor.

Eight drive bays and redundant power for uptime

The chassis holds up to eight 2.5-inch drives, leaving four bays free for future expansion. An 1100 W redundant power supply keeps the server running if one unit fails. iDRAC9 Enterprise gives administrators full remote control over power, firmware and console access without being on site.

14-core Gold 6132 sets the performance ceiling

The single Gold 6132 CPU with 14 cores and 19.25 MB cache defines the maximum thread count available for hypervisors or container clusters. Buyers who need more cores per socket or a second processor must choose a different configuration. Memory currently occupies two of the available slots with 16 GB modules at 2666 MT/s.

Questions about this item

What PCIe generation do the eight I/O slots use and what bandwidth ceiling does that impose on add-in cards?

The eight I/O slots run at PCIe Gen 3, limiting each x16 slot to roughly 16 GB/s of theoretical throughput.

How deep is the 2U chassis and will the included rails accommodate a standard four-post rack?

The 2U chassis fits in a standard four-post rack and the included sliding rails are designed for typical cabinet depths.

In what order should the two 16 GB DDR4 modules be seated to activate dual-channel mode?

Install the two 16 GB DDR4 modules in the paired slots for processor 1, usually labelled A1 and A2, to enable dual-channel operation.
