Rack Server 2U Dual Gold 6132 14C
The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Gold 6132 processors running at 2.6 GHz, each providing 14 cores. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 memory arranged as eight 16 GB modules at 2666 MT/s. Eight 120 GB SATA RI SSDs are installed behind the H730P RAID controller.
Suited For Virtualisation Not For Large Local
This configuration suits virtualisation hosts, database nodes or compute clusters that need many cores and fast networking. The 10 GbE and 1 GbE ports from the Intel X550 NDC handle heavy east-west traffic. Buyers who need more local capacity than eight 120 GB drives provide should look at a different storage layout.
Eight 2.5-Inch Drive Bays H730P RAID
The chassis offers eight 2.5-inch drive bays wired to the H730P RAID controller. This bay count and controller pairing decides whether the server can accept the drive population and RAID levels your workload requires. Verify the bay count matches your expansion plan before purchase.
