Dell R740 1U dual Gold 6132 server

The Dell R740 is a 1U rack server equipped with two Intel Gold 6132 processors. Each CPU provides 14 cores at 2.6 GHz with 19.25 MB cache. The system ships with 32 GB of DDR4 memory configured as two 16 GB modules at 2666 MT/s. It targets organisations that need dense compute in a single rack unit.

PCIe Gen 3 expansion limited to eight slots

The chassis offers up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots for add-in cards. Network connectivity is handled by an Intel X550 controller delivering two 10 Gb RJ45 ports and two 1 Gb RJ45 ports. Storage uses a H730P RAID controller managing six 1.92 TB SAS SSDs installed in the 2.5 inch drive bays. The bay count caps at eight drives total.

Redundant 1100 W power supplies

Dual 1100 W power supplies provide redundancy for continuous operation. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise for out-of-band monitoring and control. The package includes rails, bezel without LCD, and power cords. The server is not eligible for export.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the Gold 6132 14-core or the Silver 4116 12-core CPU for this R740?

The Gold 6132 runs at 2.6GHz with 14 cores and 19.25M cache, while the Silver 4116 has 12 cores; choose Gold for higher clock speed and core count.

What does the 2.6GHz figure mean when the Gold 6132 is installed in this 1U server?

Each of the 14 cores operates at a 2.6GHz base frequency, delivering consistent performance across both sockets within the 1U thermal envelope.

How does the H730P controller limit the 1.92TB SAS SSDs in practice?

The H730P manages the six 1.92TB SAS SSDs over 12Gb/s SAS lanes, capping each drive at the controller's maximum throughput and RAID overhead.
