Rack server with dual 14-core Gold 6132 CPUs
The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Gold 6132 processors running at 2.6 GHz. Each CPU provides 14 cores and 19.25 MB cache. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4 memory across eight 16 GB modules rated at PC4-2666.
Suits virtualisation hosts needing core density
Buyers who need more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays or a different backplane type should look elsewhere. The H730P RAID controller manages the four installed 300 GB 10K SAS drives. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise.
Eight 2.5-inch drive bays with H730P RAID controller
The chassis supports a maximum of eight 2.5-inch drives and the H730P card provides hardware RAID. Four bays are populated with 300 GB 10K SAS drives. Up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots are available for expansion cards.

Questions about this item
How many 2.5-inch drive bays remain free after the four 300GB 10K SAS drives are installed?
The chassis holds eight 2.5-inch bays in total, so four bays stay open for additional SAS or SSD drives.
What is the typical power draw when both Gold 6132 CPUs and the H730P controller run continuously?
The server ships with dual 1100W redundant power supplies sized for the 2 x 14-core 2.6GHz CPUs, 128GB DDR4, four 10K SAS drives and the H730P RAID card under full load.
Which rack rails are required to mount this 2U unit in a standard four-post cabinet?
The package includes the manufacturer sliding rails that fit a standard 19-inch four-post rack, so no separate rail kit is needed.
