Dell PowerEdge R740 2U dual Gold 6132 server
The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Gold 6132 processors, each offering 14 cores at 2.6GHz. It ships with 512GB of DDR4 memory arranged as 16 modules of 32GB. Eight 800GB SAS SSDs provide storage through an H730P RAID controller. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise.
Who this suits and who should look elsewhere
This server suits organisations running virtualised workloads, databases or high-performance computing that need many cores and large memory in a compact rack form. The eight 2.5-inch drive bays are filled, so buyers who need more internal storage capacity must choose a different chassis. The PCIe Gen 3 slots support up to eight add-in cards, but workloads requiring newer bus generations are not supported.
Deciding specification: 512GB DDR4 in 16 DIMMs
The installed memory totals 512GB across 16 DIMM slots populated with 32GB PC4-2400 modules. This density determines how many virtual machines or how large a dataset can reside in RAM. If the target application demands more memory than the chassis can hold, this configuration will not meet the requirement.

Questions about this item
How many 2.5-inch drive bays does the R740 chassis provide for the installed 800GB SAS SSDs?
The chassis includes eight 2.5-inch bays, all populated with 800GB SAS SSDs behind the H730P controller.
What cooling demand should I expect when both Gold 6132 CPUs run at 2.6GHz continuously?
Dual 1100W redundant PSUs feed the system; sustained 14-core load raises fan speed to maintain thermal limits.
Which network interfaces are built into the motherboard for immediate connectivity?
The Intel X550 NDC delivers two 10Gb RJ45 ports and two 1Gb RJ45 ports without adding a card.
