Dense 1U Rack Server

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 fits two Intel Gold 6132 processors and 256 GB of DDR4 into a single rack unit. Eight 2.5-inch drive bays and up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots provide room for storage and expansion. Dual 1100 W redundant supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise keep the platform running and manageable.

Virtualisation Hosts and Database Nodes

This configuration suits teams that need high core counts and fast SAS storage in minimal rack space. Buyers who need more internal drive bays or a larger memory footprint should look at a different chassis.

Dual Gold 6132 CPUs

Two 14-core processors running at 2.6 GHz with 19.25 MB cache each define the compute ceiling. The installed 16 DIMMs of PC4-2666 memory and the H730P controller with 2 x 1.92 TB SAS SSDs complete the critical specification.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the dual Gold 6132 CPUs and 256 GB DDR4 are recognised after first boot?

Open the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface; the System > Inventory page lists both 14-core 2.6 GHz processors and all sixteen 16 GB PC4-2666 modules.

Which rails, bezel, power cords and drives ship with the server?

The box contains the 1U R740 chassis with 2× 1.92 TB SAS SSDs installed, sliding rails, a non-LCD front bezel, and two power cords for the redundant 1100 W supplies.

Should I choose the 256 GB DDR4 configuration or add more memory later?

Sixteen 16 GB PC4-2666 DIMMs fill every slot for 256 GB total; further expansion requires replacing modules rather than adding empty slots.
