Storage-dense 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rackmount server built around twelve 3.5-inch drive bays. It ships with dual Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors, each running at 2.1GHz with 24 cores, and 64GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across four modules.

Suited for storage-heavy workloads

This configuration targets software-defined storage, virtual desktop infrastructure and service-provider deployments that need high drive density in a compact rack footprint. Buyers who require solid-state storage, additional PCIe expansion slots or a smaller form factor should consider other platforms.

Twelve 6TB 7.2K SATA drives

The chassis holds twelve enterprise-class 3.5-inch hard drives spinning at 7.2K RPM on a SATA interface. A Dell PERC H730P 2GB controller provides hardware RAID with battery-backed cache supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode.

Questions about this item

Will the 12Gb/s SAS/SATA PERC H730P controller work with my existing 6Gb/s SATA drives?

Yes, the PERC H730P 2GB controller supports both SAS and SATA protocols and is backward compatible with 6Gb/s SATA drives.

How can I verify the dual Xeon 8160 processors and 64GB DDR4 memory are recognised after installation?

Check the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface or the system BIOS during POST; both will display the two 24-core CPUs at 2.1GHz and the 64GB of registered ECC DDR4 memory.

Does the shipment include the front bezel and sliding rails, or must I order them separately?

The front bezel and ReadyRails sliding rails are included in the box; no separate purchase is required.
