DELL PowerEdge R740 2U Rack Server 2x Gold 6132 14C 256GB 6x 960GB SAS SSD H730P

Server for virtualisation and database workloads

This Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 2U rack server ships with two Intel Gold 6132 processors, each running at 2.6GHz with 14 cores and 19.25M cache. It includes 256GB of DDR4 memory configured as 16 modules of 16GB PC4-2666. Six 960GB SAS SSDs are installed behind an H730P RAID controller, and the chassis provides eight 2.5" drive bays for future expansion. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise.

Suits consolidation, virtualisation

Organisations needing high core counts and redundant 1100W power supplies in a compact 2U form factor will benefit from the eight PCIe Gen 3 slots and the Intel X550 network daughter card delivering two 10Gb RJ45 and two 1Gb RJ45 ports. Buyers who require an internal optical drive or more than six pre-installed SSDs should evaluate other configurations. The server includes bezel, rails and power cords for immediate rack deployment.

Eight 2.5-inch bays and H730P controller set

The chassis supports a maximum of eight 2.5-inch drives, so only two additional bays remain after the six installed 960GB SAS SSDs. The H730P RAID controller manages the SAS SSD array and any future drives added to the remaining slots. Verify that the bay count and controller meet your capacity and redundancy requirements before purchase.
