2U rack server with dual Gold 6132 CPUs
The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 fits in a standard 2U rack space and runs two Intel Gold 6132 processors at 2.6 GHz with 14 cores each. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 memory across eight 16 GB modules. This configuration targets organisations that need dense compute for virtualisation or database workloads.
H730P RAID controller and iDRAC9 Enterprise
The H730P controller manages the two 120 GB SATA SSDs and supports RAID levels across up to eight 2.5 inch drive bays. iDRAC9 Enterprise provides out-of-band remote management with a dedicated network interface. These bundled components reduce the need for separate management hardware.
PCIe Gen 3 slots and 10 Gb Ethernet NDC
The system offers up to eight PCIe Gen 3 expansion slots for additional controllers or accelerators. The integrated Intel X550 network daughter card delivers two 10 Gb RJ45 ports and two 1 Gb RJ45 ports. Buyers who require PCIe Gen 4 bandwidth or 25 Gb networking will need a different platform.

Questions about this item
How often should the 1100W redundant power supplies be checked or replaced in a 2U rack server?
The 1100W redundant power supplies are hot-swappable modules; inspect fans and capacitors during scheduled downtime and replace any unit showing degradation or fault LEDs.
Which component hits its limit first when both Gold 6132 14C CPUs run at 2.6GHz continuously?
The 1100W redundant power supplies and chassis cooling define the sustained ceiling; CPU turbo will throttle before memory or storage saturate.
What noise and heat levels should I expect from the 2U rack server with 1100W redundant PSUs running all day?
Expect data-centre grade acoustics; dual 1100W PSUs and eight 2.5" drive bays push significant heat, so front-to-rear airflow and raised-floor cooling are essential.
