Storage-dense 2U platform

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd fits twelve 3.5-inch drive bays into a two-socket rack server built for storage-heavy workloads. Dual Xeon Gold 6130 processors provide thirty-two cores total for virtualization or software-defined storage clusters.

Dual 750 W platinum supplies

Redundant hot-swap power supplies share the load and keep the system running if one unit fails. The 2U chassis uses front-to-rear airflow to cool both CPUs and the twelve drive trays under typical data-centre conditions.

H730P RAID with battery-backed cache

The PERC H730P controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode, and its 2 GB cache is protected by a battery module. iDRAC9 Enterprise gives full remote console and lifecycle management without an extra licence. No drives are included, so buyers needing immediate capacity must supply their own SAS or SATA disks.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 12 3.5-inch drive trays and what step is often missed?

Slide each tray into the front bays until the latch clicks; the step often missed is inserting drives into the trays first because the server ships with empty trays only.

Which components will need replacement first during long-term operation?

The two 750 Watt redundant power supplies and the PERC H730P controller battery are the parts most likely to require replacement over time.

What thermal or power limit appears first when both Xeon Gold 6130 CPUs run at 3.7 GHz turbo continuously?

The 750 Watt power supply rating and 2U airflow ceiling become the limiting factors before the processors reach their thermal maximum.
