Ready-to-deploy 1U rack server

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 arrives with dual Intel Gold 6132 processors, each delivering 14 cores at 2.6 GHz, and 512 GB of DDR4 memory across 16 modules. Eight 1.92 TB SAS SSDs are pre-installed behind the H730P RAID controller, providing a high-density storage foundation for virtualisation clusters or database workloads.

Verify rack depth and PCIe slot plan

The 1U chassis offers eight 2.5-inch drive bays and up to eight PCIe Gen 3 expansion slots, so confirm your rack can accommodate the rail kit and that the slot layout matches your add-in card requirements. Network connectivity uses an Intel X550 quad-port module with two 10 Gb RJ45 and two 1 Gb RJ45 links; ensure your switch ports and cabling support those speeds.

Redundant power and remote management included

Dual 1100 W power supplies provide N+N redundancy, and the iDRAC9 Enterprise module enables full out-of-band control over a dedicated network connection. The package includes sliding rails, a front bezel without an LCD panel, and power cords, allowing immediate installation in a standard four-post rack.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and what must I add?

The server ships with bezel, rails, power cords, two Gold 6132 processors, 16x 32GB DDR4 modules, eight 1.92TB SAS SSDs, H730P controller, dual 1100W PSUs and iDRAC9 Enterprise. No optical drive is fitted; add any PCIe cards or extra cabling you need.

Which CPU and drive count matches my workload?

Two 14-core Gold 6132 CPUs at 2.6GHz with 19.25M cache each suit heavily threaded tasks. Eight 2.5-inch bays are fully populated with 1.92TB SAS RI SSDs; choose this configuration when you need maximum internal capacity and read-intensive endurance.

What does 512GB DDR4 mean for actual VM density?

512GB across 16 slots at PC4-2400 lets you run many memory-heavy VMs or large in-memory databases without swapping. The 2400 MT/s speed feeds both 14-core CPUs evenly across all channels.
