Dell PowerEdge R740 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Gold 6132 processors, each running at 2.6 GHz with 14 cores. It ships with 32 GB of DDR4 memory in a 2 x 16 GB configuration and includes a PERC H730P RAID controller. This system targets organisations that need a dense compute platform for virtualisation or database workloads.

8-bay 2.5-inch drive limit

The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch drive bays, and the installed H730P controller manages the two 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives in a RAID array. PCIe Gen 3 slots support up to eight expansion cards for additional networking or storage controllers. Internal storage expansion stops at the eight-bay maximum, so larger datasets require external arrays or a different chassis.

Dual 10 GbE network interface

An Intel X550 network daughter card delivers two 10 Gb RJ45 ports alongside two 1 Gb RJ45 ports for management traffic. Remote administration is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise, which provides out-of-band monitoring and firmware updates. Buyers who need 25 GbE or fibre-channel connectivity must add a compatible PCIe card.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 32GB DDR4 configuration or add more memory for virtualization?

The server ships with 32GB DDR4 in two 16GB PC4-2666 modules. Twelve of the twenty-four DIMM slots remain free, so you can scale memory up to the platform maximum for virtualization workloads.

What does the 2.6GHz base clock on the dual Gold 6132 CPUs deliver in this chassis?

Two 14-core Gold 6132 processors at 2.6GHz provide twenty-eight cores and fifty-six threads. The 2U chassis with redundant 1100W power supplies sustains that performance under continuous load.

How does the H730P controller affect the 1.2TB 10K SAS drives?

The H730P RAID controller manages the two 1.2TB 10K SAS drives in the 2.5-inch bays. It supports hardware RAID levels and presents the volumes to the operating system without host CPU overhead.
