Dell PowerEdge R740 2U rack server

This 2U rack server ships with two Intel Gold 6132 processors, each delivering 14 cores at 2.6 GHz. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4 memory across eight 16 GB modules and a H730P RAID controller managing two 480 GB SATA SSDs. It targets organisations that need dense compute for virtualisation, databases or high-performance workloads in a standard rack footprint.

Upgrade from single-socket or lower-core platforms

Moving from a single-socket server or a dual-socket system with fewer cores adds 28 total cores and a larger shared cache of 19.25 MB per processor. The jump is worth it when workloads scale across many threads, such as container clusters or multi-tenant virtualisation, and when the 8 PCIe Gen 3 slots are needed for additional network or storage adapters.

Check rack depth, power and cooling before ordering

Verify that the rack can accommodate a 2U chassis with redundant 1100 W power supplies and that the facility provides sufficient cooling for the thermal load. Confirm the iDRAC9 Enterprise licence matches management requirements and that the eight 2.5-inch drive bays meet current and future storage plans. The server includes rails, bezel and power cords.

Questions about this item

What rack depth do the included rails support for the R740?

The supplied sliding rails fit standard 19-inch racks and adjust for typical server cabinet depths used with 2U chassis.

Which step is often missed when seating the H730P RAID controller during installation?

The controller must click firmly into the dedicated internal slot so the battery module engages; a loose fit prevents the 480GB SSDs from being recognised.

When will the iDRAC9 Enterprise licence need renewal?

iDRAC9 Enterprise is perpetual on this R740; no licence renewal is required for remote management features.
