Dell PowerEdge R740 2U rack server
The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Gold 6132 processors, each offering 14 cores at 2.6 GHz. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 memory arranged as eight 16 GB modules running at 2666 MT/s. Eight 480 GB SATA SSDs occupy the 2.5-inch drive bays, managed by an H730P RAID controller. The system includes an Intel X550 network daughter card providing two 10 Gb RJ45 and two 1 Gb RJ45 ports, plus iDRAC9 Enterprise for remote management. A redundant 1100 W power supply, rails, bezel and power cords complete the package.
Check rack space and PCIe needs
Verify that your rack can accommodate a 2U chassis and that the available power circuits can support dual 1100 W supplies. The server offers up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots; confirm the quantity and profile of the cards you plan to install. Network connectivity relies on the integrated Intel X550 with two 10 Gb and two 1 Gb RJ45 ports, so ensure your switching infrastructure matches those interfaces. No optical drive is fitted, so plan for remote media or USB installation methods. Export restrictions apply to this configuration.
Thermals noise and power in normal use
Dual 1100 W redundant power supplies share the load, drawing only what the components require during typical operation. The 2U form factor uses internal airflow channels to cool two 14-core CPUs, 128 GB of memory and eight SSDs under standard data-centre conditions. Fan speeds adjust dynamically to inlet temperature, keeping acoustic output within expected rack-server ranges. The H730P controller and SSDs operate within their thermal envelopes without additional cooling requirements. iDRAC9 Enterprise provides continuous thermal monitoring and alerting.

Questions sur cet article
What comes in the box with the PowerEdge R740 and what must be purchased separately?
The server ships with two Gold 6132 processors, 128 GB DDR4 across eight 16 GB modules, eight 480 GB SATA SSDs, H730P RAID controller, iDRAC9 Enterprise, bezel, rails and power cords; an optical drive is not included and must be sourced separately.
How do I choose between the 128 GB memory configuration and a larger capacity for the R740?
The unit is populated with eight 16 GB DDR4 PC4-2666 DIMMs filling half the slots; adding more 16 GB modules expands capacity while keeping matched channels, so select based on workload memory pressure and future growth.
What does the 2.6 GHz base clock on the dual Gold 6132 CPUs mean for real-world throughput?
Each Gold 6132 runs 14 cores at 2.6 GHz with 19.25 MB cache, giving 28 total threads for parallel workloads; actual throughput depends on instruction mix, memory bandwidth and thermal headroom within the 2U chassis.
