Dense compute in 1U
The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 packs two Intel Gold 6132 processors with 14 cores each into a single rack unit. Sixteen DDR4 modules deliver 512 GB of memory for virtualisation hosts or database workloads. Four 1.92 TB SAS SSDs provide fast read-intensive storage on the H730P controller.
Front-access storage and redundant power
Eight 2.5-inch drive bays sit behind a bezel for quick drive swaps without tools. Dual 1100 W power supplies share the load so one unit can fail without downtime. iDRAC9 Enterprise gives remote console and lifecycle management over a dedicated network port.
Efficient cooling for sustained loads
Internal airflow paths direct cool air across both CPUs and the memory array before exhausting at the rear. Fan speeds adjust to inlet temperature keeping acoustic output low in typical rack rows. Redundant power supplies operate in a high-efficiency band across common utilisation levels.

Questions about this item
What PCIe generation do the I/O slots support?
The server provides up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots for expansion cards.
What rack space and drive bay layout does the chassis use?
It is a 1U rackmount chassis with eight 2.5-inch drive bays.
How is the H730P RAID controller installed, and what step is often missed?
The H730P is pre-installed; the step often missed is importing the foreign configuration so the four 1.92 TB SAS SSDs become visible to the OS.
