2U Rack Server with Dual Gold 6132 CPUs
The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Gold 6132 processors, each offering 14 cores at 2.6GHz. It ships with 512GB of DDR4 memory across 16 modules. This configuration targets virtualisation hosts and database workloads that demand high core counts and large memory capacity.
iDRAC9 Enterprise and H730P RAID Controller
Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise, providing out-of-band monitoring and control over dedicated network interfaces. The H730P RAID controller manages the six installed 300GB 10K SAS drives with hardware acceleration. These components simplify storage provisioning and server administration without additional licensing.
Redundant Power and Flexible PCIe Expansion
Dual 1100W redundant power supplies maintain uptime during a module failure. Up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots support additional network or accelerator cards. The 8-bay 2.5-inch chassis leaves two drive bays free for future storage growth. Included rails and bezel streamline rack installation.

Questions about this item
When will the 300GB 10K SAS drives need replacement?
The 300GB 10K SAS drives are mechanical; plan replacement after 3 to 5 years of continuous operation or when SMART alerts appear.
What limits sustained throughput on the H730P controller?
The H730P RAID controller and 10K SAS drives set the sustained throughput ceiling under heavy write workloads.
How loud and hot does the 1100W redundant PSU run all day?
Dual 1100W redundant supplies share load; fans ramp under full CPU use, producing noticeable airflow and heat in a 2U rack.
