DELL PowerEdge R740xd 2U rack server 2x Xeon Gold 6130 2.1GHz 16-core 64GB DDR4 24x 600GB SAS H730P

Dense storage compute

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd fits two Xeon Gold 6130 processors and 64 GB of DDR4 ECC memory into a 2U rack chassis. Twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays hold 600 GB 10K SAS disks managed by a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache. A quad-port network daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links. iDRAC 9 Enterprise provides full remote management.

Sustained throughput focus

Dual 16-core CPUs at 2.1 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo keep all cores fed during long database scans or virtual desktop sessions. The H730P battery-backed cache absorbs write bursts while the 12 Gb/s SAS backplane moves data to the 24 spindles without saturating the controller. Redundant 1100 W platinum power supplies maintain voltage stability when every bay and both sockets run at full tilt.

Service-ready mechanicals

Tool-less ready rails let the 2U unit slide into standard racks and lock in place for vibration-free operation. Hot-swap drive carriers and power supplies can be replaced without shutting down the host. The front bezel covers the bay array while allowing airflow to the 24 disks. LGA 3647 sockets and 24 DIMM slots remain accessible for future CPU or memory expansion up to the platform maximum.
