Rack Server for Dense Compute
The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 1U rack server built around dual Intel Gold 6132 processors, each with 14 cores at 2.6 GHz. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 memory and eight 1.92 TB SAS SSDs managed by a H730P RAID controller. Redundant 1100 W power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management complete the package.
Suits Virtualisation and Database Workloads
This configuration fits environments that need high core counts and fast SAS storage in a single rack unit. Buyers who require more than eight drive bays, additional PCIe Gen 3 slots beyond the eight provided, or a different network interface should evaluate other platforms.
Eight 2.5-Inch Drive Bays Define Capacity
The chassis supports a maximum of eight 2.5-inch drives, and all bays are populated with 1.92 TB SAS RI SSDs. This fixed bay count is the primary constraint for storage expansion planning.

Questions about this item
What is the rated output of the redundant power supplies and what cooling maintenance will they require?
Dual 1100W units provide redundancy; intake filters should be inspected and cleaned periodically to maintain airflow.
Which component reaches its thermal or throughput ceiling first during continuous operation?
The H730P RAID controller and eight 1.92TB SAS SSDs set the sustained I/O limit before CPU or memory saturate.
How much heat and noise should be expected when the server runs around the clock?
Two 2.6GHz 14‑core CPUs and eight SSDs in a 1U chassis generate significant heat; fan speed will ramp under load, producing noticeable acoustic output.
