Dual Intel Gold 6142 16-Core Server

This Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Gold 6142 processors, each with 16 cores. It ships with 512GB of DDR4 memory installed across multiple modules. Four 2TB 7.2K SAS drives provide bulk storage managed by an H740P controller. The chassis supports up to eight 2.5-inch drive bays for expansion.

Suited for Multi-Threaded Workloads

The 32 total cores and large memory footprint suit virtualization hosts, database nodes or compute clusters that scale across many threads. Buyers who need higher single-thread frequency or accelerator cards for specialised workloads should evaluate other platforms. The eight PCIe Gen 3 slots allow additional networking or storage controllers within the 2U form factor.

H740P RAID Controller With 4x 2TB SAS

The installed H740P controller manages the four 2TB 7.2K SAS drives and supports RAID levels for redundancy or capacity. Remote administration is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise for out-of-band management. Redundant 1100W power supplies are included to maintain uptime during a module failure.

Questions about this item

What rail kit is required to mount the 2U Dell PowerEdge R740 in a standard 19-inch rack?

The server includes rails and a bezel, so no separate rail kit is needed for standard 19-inch rack mounting.

How do I install the 16x 32GB DDR4 DIMMs across the two Gold 6132 processors?

Populate memory channels evenly per CPU; each Gold 6132 supports six channels, so balance the 16 modules across both sockets for optimal performance.

When should I replace the 1100W redundant power supplies in this R740?

Replace a PSU when iDRAC9 Enterprise reports a fault or the front-panel LED shows amber; hot-swap the failed unit without powering down the server.
