2U Rack Server with Dual Gold 6132 CPUs

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for virtualisation and database workloads. It ships with two Intel Gold 6132 processors, each running at 2.6 GHz with 14 cores. Memory capacity is 256 GB of DDR4 in a 16-module configuration. Eight 480 GB SATA SSDs are installed across the 2.5-inch drive bays.

Suited for Compute-Heavy Roles.

This configuration fits organisations that need high core counts and fast local storage in a compact rack footprint. The H730P controller and iDRAC9 Enterprise simplify storage and remote management. Buyers who require GPU acceleration or additional PCIe expansion beyond the eight Gen 3 slots should evaluate other platforms.

Eight 2.5-Inch Bays Define Storage Limits

The chassis provides exactly eight 2.5-inch drive bays, all populated with 480 GB SATA SSDs. No further internal drives can be added without removing existing units. External enclosures or a different chassis are the only ways to increase raw capacity.

Questions about this item

What rack depth and rails do I need to install this 2U R740 server?

The server is a 2U rack-mount chassis and the listing includes rails, so it fits a standard 19-inch rack with sufficient depth for the included rail kit.

Can I keep using my existing PCIe Gen 3 expansion cards in the eight available slots?

Yes, the R740 provides up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots, so compatible Gen 3 cards will operate at their native speed.

How do I confirm the iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management is active after first boot?

Connect the dedicated iDRAC network port, power on the server, and the iDRAC IP address will appear on the front LCD-less bezel or via the BIOS setup screen.
