2U Rack Server with Gold 6132

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with a single Intel Gold 6132 processor running at 2.6GHz with 14 cores. It ships with 32GB of DDR4 memory in a 2x 16GB configuration and includes four 1.2TB 10K SAS drives managed by an H730P RAID controller. Remote administration is handled through iDRAC9 Enterprise, and networking uses an Intel X550 controller providing two 10Gb RJ45 and two 1Gb RJ45 ports.

Suited for density-focused workloads.

This configuration fits environments that need a compact 2U form factor with high core density and fast 10Gb networking built in. The eight 2.5-inch drive bays allow storage expansion beyond the four installed drives, and up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots support additional I/O cards. Buyers who require dual-socket performance or larger memory footprints from the outset should evaluate other platforms.

Single-socket 14-core processor defines the ceiling

The installed Gold 6132 delivers 14 cores at 2.6GHz with 19.25M cache, setting the compute limit for this unit. Memory currently occupies two slots at 32GB total, leaving room for expansion within the single-processor design. Storage performance hinges on the H730P controller managing the 10K SAS drives, while the 1100W redundant power supply supports the configured components.

Questions about this item

What rack depth and rail kit does the 2U R740 chassis require for mounting?

The 2U rack chassis includes sliding rails for standard four-post racks; verify your cabinet depth supports the server length before installation.

How do I install the second CPU and memory kit on the Gold 6132 motherboard, and which slot order is often missed?

Populate the second CPU socket first, then add DDR4 DIMMs in the prescribed channel sequence — skipping the correct channel order is the common error.

When will the 1.2TB 10K SAS drives or the H730P RAID controller battery need replacement?

The 10K SAS drives are rated for continuous operation; the H730P cache battery typically lasts several years and should be replaced when iDRAC9 reports a degradation alert.
