Dell PowerEdge R740 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mount server built for virtualisation and database workloads. It ships with dual Intel Gold 6132 processors, each offering 14 cores at 2.6 GHz, and 64 GB of DDR4 memory. Four 1.92 TB SAS SSDs and an H730P RAID controller provide high-speed storage out of the box.

Suited for dense compute and storage clusters

This configuration fits organisations that need many cores and fast SAS flash in a compact 2U form factor. Buyers who require larger memory footprints, additional drive bays beyond the eight 2.5-inch slots, or GPU-accelerated workloads should evaluate alternative platforms.

Dual Gold 6132 14-core CPUs set the performance

The two 14-core Gold 6132 processors define the maximum thread count and clock speed available in this unit. If the application demands higher core counts, faster frequencies or a different instruction-set feature set, this server will not meet the requirement.

Questions about this item

Will the 1U R740 chassis with 8x 2.5" drive bays fit my standard 19-inch rack?

Yes, the R740 is a 1U rack-mount server designed for standard 19-inch racks and includes rails for installation. The chassis supports up to eight 2.5-inch drives.

What is the correct order for installing the two Gold 6132 processors and the 64GB DDR4 memory modules?

Install both Gold 6132 CPUs first, then populate the 16GB DDR4 DIMMs across all channels following the R740 memory guide; the common error is adding memory before the second processor is seated.

How do I monitor the health of the four 1.92TB SAS SSDs and the H730P controller over time?

Use iDRAC9 Enterprise to check SSD wear levels, controller battery status, and drive SMART data; replace any SAS SSD when its endurance indicator reaches the threshold.
