Dell PowerEdge R740 server for virtualisation

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Gold 6132 processors, each providing 14 cores at 2.6GHz. It ships with 256GB of DDR4 memory installed across 16 modules and includes a PERC H730P RAID controller. Four 120GB SATA SSDs are pre-installed in the 2.5-inch drive bays.

Suits dense compute clusters, not GPU farms

This configuration suits organisations running virtualisation, database or high-performance computing workloads that benefit from high core counts and large memory capacity. The integrated Intel X550 adapter provides two 10Gb and two 1Gb RJ45 ports for network connectivity. Buyers needing GPU acceleration or more than eight PCIe Gen 3 slots should consider a different chassis.

256GB DDR4 decides capacity ceiling

The installed 256GB DDR4 memory set across 16 DIMM slots defines the immediate working capacity for virtual machines and in-memory databases. The H730P controller manages the four 120GB SSDs and supports additional drives in the remaining 2.5-inch bays. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise for out-of-band administration.

Questions about this item

What PCIe generation do the eight slots support?

The R740 provides up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots for expansion cards.

What rack depth clearance does the 2U chassis need?

The 2U chassis uses the included rails to mount in a standard 19-inch rack; allow full rail travel depth.

How are the sixteen DDR4 DIMMs installed across the two CPUs?

Each Gold 6132 has eight channels; populate all sixteen 16 GB DIMMs evenly — eight per processor — to reach 256 GB.
