2U rack server for virtualisation

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Gold 6132 processors, each running at 2.6GHz with 14 cores. It ships with 256GB of DDR4 memory arranged as sixteen 16GB modules at 2666 MT/s. The H730P RAID controller manages four 300GB 10K SAS drives in the front bays.

Suits dense compute clusters.

This configuration fits environments that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a compact 2U form factor, such as virtualisation hosts or database nodes. The eight PCIe Gen 3 slots allow additional networking or storage cards. Buyers who require GPU acceleration or more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays should consider other platforms.

256GB DDR4 across sixteen DIMM slots

The installed 256GB DDR4 population fills sixteen slots, leaving no free DIMM positions for simple memory expansion without replacing modules. This single specification determines whether the server can accept additional RAM immediately or requires a memory reconfiguration before deployment.

Questions about this item

How loud does the R740 get with both Gold 6132 CPUs and the 1100W redundant PSUs running continuously?

The 2U chassis uses multiple high-speed fans that ramp up under load; expect noticeable airflow noise in a quiet room, though iDRAC9 lets you monitor inlet temperature and fan speeds remotely.

What rack infrastructure do I need before the R740 will mount and power on?

You need a standard 19-inch rack with at least 2U of free space, two PDUs or UPS outlets for the redundant 1100W supplies, and the included sliding rails for installation.

Can the four installed 300GB 10K SAS drives work with the H730P controller alongside any older 6Gb SAS drives I might add later?

The H730P controller manages the four factory-installed 300GB 10K SAS drives; additional 2.5-inch SAS drives can populate the remaining four bays, and the controller handles mixed drive speeds within the same array.
