DELL PowerEdge R740 2U Rack Server 1x Gold 6132 14C 32GB 2x 480GB SSD H730P

Dell PowerEdge R740 2U rack server for compute

This 2U rack server ships with a single Intel Gold 6132 processor delivering 14 cores at 2.6GHz and 19.25M cache. It includes 32GB of DDR4 memory in two 16GB modules running at 2666 MT/s. The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch drive bays and up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots for expansion cards.

Verify rack depth, power circuit

The unit requires a standard 19-inch rack with sufficient depth for a 2U chassis and rails. Dual redundant 1100W power supplies need two compatible PDU outlets on the same circuit. The Intel X550 network daughter card provides two 10Gb RJ45 and two 1Gb RJ45 ports, so plan switch ports and cabling accordingly.

Sustained operation relies on redundant cooling

Hot-plug redundant fans and dual 1100W power supplies keep the system running during component failure or maintenance. The H730P RAID controller manages the two 480GB SATA SSDs with cache protection for continuous write workloads. iDRAC9 Enterprise enables remote monitoring and firmware updates without taking the host offline.
