Ready-to-deploy 2U rack server
The Dell PowerEdge R740 arrives fully assembled with a single Intel Gold 6132 processor running at 2.6GHz across 14 cores and 64GB of DDR4 memory configured as four 16GB modules at 2666 MT/s. Four 960GB SAS SSDs are installed behind the H730P RAID controller, giving immediate storage capacity. iDRAC9 Enterprise provides comprehensive remote management from day one.
Dense drive bay layout with redundant power
The 2U chassis offers eight 2.5-inch drive bays, leaving four bays free for future expansion beyond the factory-installed SSDs. An 1100W redundant power supply is fitted, and rails plus power cords are included for standard rack mounting. Network connectivity uses an Intel X550 adapter delivering two 10Gb RJ45 ports and two 1Gb RJ45 ports. No optical drive is present, maximising internal space for storage or PCIe cards.
PCIe Gen 3 ceiling and single-socket ceiling
Up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots are available for add-in cards, but the single-socket design limits total memory capacity and core count compared to dual-socket configurations. Buyers needing more than 14 cores or larger DDR4 footprints should evaluate dual-processor platforms. The H730P controller supports SAS RAID levels, yet the four installed SSDs occupy half the physical bays, constraining further internal storage growth without external enclosures.

Questions about this item
What speed do the 10Gb RJ45 ports on the Intel X550 NDC actually deliver?
The Intel X550 NDC provides two 10Gb RJ45 ports that run at up to 10 Gbps each, plus two 1Gb RJ45 ports for management traffic.
How many 2.5" drive bays are free after the four 960GB SAS SSDs are installed?
The chassis holds eight 2.5" bays; four are occupied by the 960GB SAS SSDs, leaving four empty bays for additional drives.
Which PCIe generation do the eight expansion slots use, and what bandwidth does that limit each slot to?
All eight slots are PCIe Gen 3, so each x16 slot is capped at roughly 16 GB/s bidirectional throughput.
