DELL PowerEdge R740 2x Gold 6132 14C 128GB 8x 300GB 10K SFF H730P rack server

2U Rack Server with Dual Gold 6132 CPUs

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Gold 6132 processors, each running at 2.6 GHz with 14 cores. It comes populated with 128 GB of DDR4 memory across eight 16 GB modules. Eight 300 GB 10K SAS drives are installed in the 2.5-inch bays, managed by an H730P RAID controller. Remote management is provided by iDRAC9 Enterprise.

Suits virtualisation hosts needing dense compute

This configuration fits workloads that benefit from high core counts and low-latency rotational storage, such as database clusters or virtual desktop infrastructure. The eight PCIe Gen 3 slots allow additional network or accelerator cards. Buyers requiring more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays or a different drive interface should evaluate alternative chassis. The lack of an optical drive may affect installations that rely on physical media.

Eight 300 GB 10K SAS drives on H730P controller

The storage subsystem consists of eight 300 GB 10K SAS drives connected to the H730P RAID controller. This combination determines usable capacity, redundancy options and I/O performance for the server. Verify that the drive count, speed and controller match the storage profile your applications require before purchasing.
