Target workloads

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for virtualization and database clusters. Dual Intel Gold 6132 processors deliver 28 cores at 2.6GHz with 19.25M cache each. 128GB of DDR4 memory and six 800GB SAS SSDs on an H730P controller provide high-throughput storage for critical applications. iDRAC9 Enterprise enables full remote lifecycle management.

Upgrade path

This system replaces older 2U platforms that max out at lower core counts or slower storage interfaces. The jump is worth it when workloads demand more simultaneous threads, larger memory capacity, or the throughput of SAS SSDs behind a hardware RAID controller. Eight 2.5-inch drive bays leave room for future capacity expansion without changing chassis.

Pre-install checks

Verify rack depth and airflow clearance for a 2U unit with redundant 1100W power supplies. Confirm PCIe Gen 3 slot allocation matches any add-in cards you plan to install. Ensure network infrastructure supports the onboard Intel X550 dual 10Gb and dual 1Gb RJ45 ports. No optical drive is included, so plan OS deployment via USB or network boot.

Questions about this item

Will the 2U R740 chassis fit a standard 19-inch rack with 8x 2.5" drive bays?

Yes, the R740 is a 2U rack server designed for 19-inch racks and the chassis provides 8x 2.5" drive bays for SAS SSD installation.

How are the 2× Gold 6132 14C processors and 128GB DDR4 memory installed, and what step is often missed?

The two Gold 6132 CPUs and eight 16GB DDR4 modules come pre-installed; the step often missed is ensuring the iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management is configured before deploying the server.

When will the 6× 800GB SAS SSDs or the 1100W redundant PSUs need replacement?

The 800GB SAS SSDs should be monitored via the H730P controller for wear; the 1100W redundant power supplies are hot-swappable and typically replaced only if a unit fails.
