Storage-dense 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack-mount server built around two Intel Xeon Silver 4116 processors running at 2.1 GHz with 12 cores each. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and a PERC H730P RAID controller with 2 GB cache. Twelve 3.5-inch hot-swap trays accept SATA or SAS drives, while a quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management complete the platform.

Suits storage-heavy workloads

This configuration targets software-defined storage clusters, virtual desktop infrastructure hosts and service-provider environments that need maximum drive count in a 2U footprint. The dual-socket design and large memory capacity support heavy virtualisation or database caching. Buyers who need GPU compute density, single-thread frequencies above 3.0 GHz or a smaller 1U form factor should evaluate other platforms.

12-bay 3.5-inch drive capacity

The defining specification is the twelve 3.5-inch SAS/SATA drive bays backed by the H730P controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. This bay count and controller combination determines whether the server can meet a given storage capacity or redundancy requirement.

Questions about this item

What 3.5" drives must I supply to fill the 12 front trays?

You need twelve 3.5" SATA or SAS hard drives; the trays accept either interface and no drives are included.

Will my existing SATA SSDs work with the PERC H730P controller?

Yes, the H730P supports SATA SSDs alongside SAS drives and provides RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 plus pass-through.

How can I confirm the 768 GB DDR4 is running at 2400 MHz after installation?

Check the memory speed in the iDRAC9 Enterprise inventory or the system BIOS; both report the configured DDR4 frequency.
