Dell PowerEdge R740 2U rack server

This Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Gold 6132 processors, each delivering 14 cores at 2.6 GHz. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 memory arranged as eight 16 GB PC4-2666 modules. Six 1.2 TB 10 K SAS drives are installed behind an H730P RAID controller, and remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise.

Suited for dense virtualisation

The eight 2.5-inch drive bays and up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots support storage-heavy or I/O-intensive deployments. Dual 10 Gb RJ45 and dual 1 Gb RJ45 ports from the Intel X550 NDC provide high-throughput networking. Buyers who need more than six drives pre-installed or who require an internal optical drive should look at other configurations.

H730P RAID controller with six 1.2 TB SAS drives

The storage subsystem centres on the H730P controller managing the six 1.2 TB 10 K SAS disks already fitted. This combination determines the usable capacity and RAID options available on day one. Confirm that the controller firmware meets the RAID level your workload demands before deployment.

Questions about this item

Will the six 1.2TB 10K SAS drives need scheduled replacement under constant write workloads?

The 1.2TB 10K SAS drives are mechanical; plan to monitor SMART data and replace any drive that reports reallocated sectors or latency spikes.

Which component hits its limit first when both Gold 6132 CPUs sustain 2.6GHz across all 14 cores?

The 1100W redundant power supplies set the thermal and current ceiling before the CPUs reach their maximum turbo under full all-core load.

How loud and hot does the 2U chassis get with the 1100W PSUs and fans running continuously?

High-speed system fans needed to cool dual 14-core CPUs and six 10K drives produce noticeable airflow noise and exhaust heat in a 2U rack space.
