DELL PowerEdge R740 2x Gold 6132 14C 32GB 4x 960GB SAS SSD H730P

Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 2U rack server

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Gold 6132 processors, each running at 2.6GHz with 14 cores and 19.25M cache. It ships with 32GB of DDR4 memory in a 2x 16GB PC4-2666 configuration. Four 960GB SAS SSDs provide fast storage through the H730P RAID controller, and the chassis supports up to eight 2.5-inch drive bays.

Suited for compute-heavy workloads needing dense

This server fits workloads that demand high core counts and fast SAS storage in a compact form factor. The dual 14-core CPUs and redundant 1100W power supplies support continuous operation. Buyers who require more than 32GB of memory or more than four installed drives should look at a different configuration. The eight PCIe Gen 3 slots allow expansion for networking or accelerator cards.

32GB DDR4 memory capacity

The installed memory is 32GB DDR4 arranged as two 16GB modules at PC4-2666 speed. This capacity determines how many virtual machines or database instances can run concurrently. If the target workload needs a larger memory footprint, additional DIMMs must be sourced separately. The eight 2.5-inch bays leave room to add more SAS SSDs later.
