2U Rack Server with Gold 6142

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Gold 6142 processor with 16 cores. It ships with 64GB of DDR4 memory and four 2TB 7.2K SAS drives managed by an H740P controller. The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch drive bays for additional storage.

PCIe Gen 3 expansion limits

Up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots are available for add-in cards such as network adapters or accelerators. The integrated NDC uses an Intel X550 controller delivering two 10Gb RJ45 and two 1Gb RJ45 Ethernet ports. No optical drive bay is included in the configuration.

64GB memory and 8TB raw storage

The installed 64GB DDR4 configuration suits virtualization hosts and database workloads that fit within this capacity. Four 2TB drives provide 8TB of raw space before RAID overhead. Memory slots and drive bays remain open for future expansion when workloads grow beyond the current headroom.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 16-core Gold 6142 or the 14-core Gold 6132 for this R740?

The 16-core Gold 6142 gives you more threads for parallel workloads; the 14-core Gold 6132 runs at 2.6 GHz with 19.25 MB cache and may suit lighter tasks.

How does the 64 GB DDR4 2666 memory perform in a live R740?

Four 16 GB DDR4 2666 modules fill four slots, leaving room to expand and delivering standard dual-channel throughput for virtualization or databases.

What does the H740P controller cap in practice with these SAS drives?

The H740P manages the 4x 2 TB 7.2K SAS drives in RAID 0, 1, 5, 6 or 10, limited by the 8-bay 2.5-inch chassis and PCIe Gen 3 bandwidth.
