Rack server with dual Gold 6132 CPUs
The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 1U rack server equipped with two Intel Gold 6132 processors, each offering 14 cores at 2.6 GHz. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 memory populated across 16 DIMM slots and includes a PERC H730P RAID controller. Dual 1.92 TB SAS SSDs provide the initial storage in an 8-bay 2.5-inch chassis.
Suited for memory-heavy workloads
This configuration targets virtualization hosts, database nodes or compute clusters that benefit from high core counts and a large memory footprint. The 1U form factor fits dense rack deployments while the redundant 1100 W power supplies support uptime requirements. Buyers needing more than eight drive bays, GPU acceleration or a different processor generation should evaluate alternative platforms.
512 GB DDR4 installed capacity
The server arrives with 512 GB of DDR4-2400 memory already installed, which determines the immediate workload capacity and the remaining DIMM slots for future expansion. This figure is the primary constraint for memory-bound applications and licensing models that scale per gigabyte.

Questions about this item
What does 512 GB of DDR4 memory mean for real workloads on this server?
The system ships with sixteen 32 GB DDR4-2400 modules, giving 512 GB total. That capacity lets you run large virtualisation clusters, in-memory databases or heavy analytics without swapping to disk.
How does the Intel X550 network controller limit throughput in practice?
The NDC provides two 10 Gb RJ45 ports and two 1 Gb RJ45 ports, so each 10 Gb link caps at 10 Gbps and each 1 Gb link at 1 Gbps.
What physical space and rails are required to mount this 1U rack server?
The chassis occupies 1U of rack height and fits standard 19-inch rails; the package includes rails and bezel for immediate installation.
