Dual Gold 6132 14-core compute

This Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 packs two Intel Gold 6132 processors running at 2.6 GHz with 14 cores each and 19.25 MB cache. Thirty-two gigabytes of DDR4-2666 memory ship as two 16 GB modules. The 1U rack chassis targets virtualization, database and high-density workloads that need strong per-core performance.

H730P RAID with dual SAS SSD

A PERC H730P controller manages two 1.92 TB SAS read-intensive SSDs in the front 2.5-inch bays, which support up to eight drives total. Redundant 1100 W power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management keep the platform available. The bezel, rails and power cords are included for immediate rack installation.

Upgrade from single-socket or smaller R730

Moving from a single-socket server or an earlier 13th-generation chassis adds a second CPU, double the core count and Gen 3 PCIe slots for 10 GbE networking. The jump is worth it when workloads outgrow 12 cores or 16 GB DIMMs and need the extra memory channels and I/O lanes this configuration provides.

Questions about this item

What PCIe generation do the I/O slots support, and how does that affect throughput?

The R740 provides up to 8 PCIe Gen 3 slots, so each lane tops out at 8 GT/s and total bandwidth depends on how many lanes the installed card negotiates.

What physical space and rails are required to mount this 1U rack server?

It fits a standard 19-inch rack at 1U height and ships with sliding rails included, so no separate rail kit is needed.

How do you install the 2.5-inch SAS SSDs, and what step is often missed?

Insert each 1.92 TB drive into a hot-swap bay until the latch clicks, then use the H730P controller BIOS or iDRAC9 to create the RAID virtual disk before the OS sees the volume.
