Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 1U rack server

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 fits in a single 1U rack space while delivering 14-core Intel Gold 6132 processing at 2.6GHz with 19.25M cache. It ships with 64GB of DDR4 memory across four 16GB modules running at 2666 MT/s. This configuration targets workloads that need high core density and fast local storage in a compact form factor.

Sustained load with Gold 6132 14C and H730P RAID

The single Gold 6132 processor maintains its 2.6GHz base frequency across all 14 cores during extended compute tasks. The H730P RAID controller manages two 1.92TB SAS RI SSDs with dedicated cache, keeping write latency consistent under continuous mixed I/O. Redundant 1100W power supplies prevent interruptions if one unit fails or a feed is lost.

Practical limits of PCIe Gen 3

Eight PCIe Gen 3 slots provide expansion bandwidth capped at Gen 3 speeds, so newer Gen 4 or Gen 5 add-in cards will operate at the lower generation. The chassis holds a maximum of eight 2.5-inch drives, limiting total raw capacity to the number of bays multiplied by the largest supported drive. The onboard Intel X550 network controller delivers two 10Gb RJ45 and two 1Gb RJ45 ports with no additional NIC slots occupied.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the 1U chassis get with the 1100W redundant PSU and Gold 6132 running continuously?

The 1U R740 uses a 1100W redundant power supply and a single Gold 6132 14C 2.6GHz processor; Dell's thermal design targets normal data-centre acoustics for this configuration.

What cabling and rails must I already have to install the 8-bay 2.5" chassis with H730P?

The server ships with bezel, sliding rails and power cords; the H730P connects to the eight 2.5" SAS bays using the included internal cables.

Will my existing SAS drives work in the eight 2.5" bays backed by the H730P controller?

Yes, the R740 provides eight 2.5" drive bays wired to the H730P RAID controller, so compatible SAS drives can be added to the array.
