Dell PowerEdge R740 2U Server
The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for compute-intensive workloads. It ships with dual Intel Gold 6132 processors, each delivering 14 cores at 2.6GHz. The system includes 128GB of DDR4 memory across eight 16GB modules running at 2666 MT/s. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise.
Virtualisation hosts and database nodes
This configuration suits teams consolidating virtual machines or running memory-heavy databases that benefit from 28 total cores and 128GB of RAM. The eight 2.5-inch drive bays and H730P RAID controller support internal storage expansion. Buyers who need more storage capacity than the two 960GB SAS SSDs provide should look at other configurations. Organisations requiring GPU acceleration will need a different chassis.
Dual Intel Gold 6132 14-core CPUs
The pair of Gold 6132 processors defines the server's throughput ceiling with 28 cores and 19.25MB cache per socket. This core count drives licensing costs and parallel performance for hypervisors and enterprise applications. Memory bandwidth scales with the 2666 MT/s DDR4 population across all channels. Cooling and power are rated for the 1100W redundant supply included.

Questions about this item
How can I verify the dual Intel Gold 6132 14-core processors are running correctly after installation?
Check the iDRAC9 Enterprise dashboard for both CPUs showing 2.6GHz clock speed, 19.25M cache and 14 cores each, then run a memory test confirming all 128GB DDR4 at 2666 MT/s is detected.
Which components are included in the box and which must be purchased separately?
The shipment contains the 2U R740 chassis with 8x 2.5" bays, 2x Gold 6132 CPUs, 8x 16GB DDR4 modules, 2x 960GB SAS SSDs, H730P RAID controller, Intel X550 NDC with 2x 10Gb and 2x 1Gb RJ45, 1100W redundant PSU, bezel, rails and power cords; no optical drive is fitted.
Which drive capacity should I choose for the remaining six 2.5-inch bays?
The server supports up to eight 2.5-inch SAS drives; with two 960GB SSDs already installed you can add six more SAS SSDs or HDDs of any supported capacity to fill the remaining bays.
