Dual Gold 6132 compute density
The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 packs two Intel Gold 6132 processors, each with 14 cores at 2.6GHz, into a 2U rack chassis. That layout targets virtualization clusters, database nodes and high-throughput batch workloads that need many threads in a compact footprint.
PCIe Gen 3 expansion headroom
Up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots remain available for accelerators, network adapters or storage controllers beyond the embedded Intel X550 dual 10Gb and dual 1Gb RJ45 ports. The H730P RAID controller manages the six installed 800GB SAS SSDs while leaving two 2.5-inch bays open for capacity growth.
Redundant 1100W power under load
Dual 1100W supplies share the load so sustained CPU and storage activity stays within thermal limits without throttling. iDRAC9 Enterprise provides out-of-band monitoring and firmware updates even when the host OS is unresponsive.

Questions about this item
What sustained workload limit appears first with the two 14-core Gold 6132 CPUs at 2.6 GHz?
The 1100 W redundant power supplies set the ceiling for continuous compute density before thermal or current protection engages.
How loud and hot does the 2U chassis run with six 800 GB SAS SSDs and dual CPUs under all-day load?
Dual 1100 W supplies and eight 2.5-inch drive bays move enough airflow that fan noise stays in the typical rack range and inlet temperatures remain within ASHRAE limits.
Which rack rails and power cords must already be on site for this R740 to go straight into a cabinet?
The shipment includes sliding rails and IEC C13 power cords, so only a standard 19-inch rack and PDU outlets are required.
