2U rack server with 16-core Gold 6142

The DELL PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with one Intel Gold 6142 processor running at 2.6GHz with 16 cores and 19.25M cache. It ships with 32GB of DDR4 memory installed as two 16GB modules at 2666 MT/s. This configuration targets compute-intensive workloads in standard rack environments.

Verify PCIe Gen 3 slot count and drive bay format

Before ordering, confirm that your rack can accommodate a 2U chassis and that your expansion cards are compatible with up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots. The server provides eight 2.5-inch drive bays but only two are populated with 2.4TB 10K SAS drives. Network connectivity uses an Intel X550 adapter delivering two 10Gb RJ45 and two 1Gb RJ45 ports.

Redundant 1100W power and iDRAC9 Enterprise included

Dual 1100W redundant power supplies support continuous operation during a single unit failure. The H730P RAID controller manages the SAS drives with hardware acceleration. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise, enabling out-of-band monitoring and control. Rails, bezel without LCD, and power cords are supplied for immediate rack installation.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box with the PowerEdge R740 and what must be purchased separately?

The server ships with the 2U chassis, one Gold 6142 processor, 32 GB DDR4, two 2 TB 7.2K NL SAS drives, the H740P RAID controller, iDRAC9 Enterprise, bezel, rails and power cords. Additional drives, memory modules, a second CPU or PCIe cards are not included.

Should I choose the Gold 6142 16C or the Gold 6132 14C for this R740?

The listed configuration uses the Gold 6142 with 16 cores at 2.6 GHz and 19.25 MB cache. The alternative Gold 6132 has 14 cores at the same clock speed. Pick the 6142 when you need two more cores per socket for parallel workloads.

What does the 32 GB DDR4 figure mean once the R740 is running?

The system arrives with 32 GB DDR4 installed as two 16 GB PC4-2666 modules. That capacity is immediately available to the OS and applications, leaving the remaining DIMM slots open for future expansion.
