Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd fits twelve 3.5-inch drive bays into a 2U rack height, giving software-defined storage clusters or virtual desktop hosts room to grow without consuming extra rack units. Dual Xeon Gold 5118 processors and 768 GB of DDR4 ECC memory supply the compute headroom for hyper-converged workloads.

Twelve hot-swap trays with H730P RAID

Front-access trays accept SATA or SAS drives and connect to a PERC H730P controller that supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. A quad-port network daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links, while iDRAC 9 Enterprise provides dedicated out-of-band management. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies and sliding rails with a front bezel complete the chassis.

Check rack depth and drive stock

The 2U form factor demands a rack deep enough for the chassis and cable bend radius behind the rear I/O panel. No drives ship with the system, so source compatible 3.5-inch SATA or SAS media before deployment. Verify that your network fabric has SFP+ optics or DAC cables for the 10 Gb ports and that the operating environment meets the server’s thermal requirements.

Questions about this item

What RAID levels does the 12Gb/s PERC H730P controller support?

The PERC H730P handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode with its 2GB cache.

How much clearance do the included Ready Rails need in a standard rack?

Ready Rails mount in a 2U space using standard square or threaded holes; allow depth for the 2U chassis and cable bend radius at the rear.

How do I configure the iDRAC9 Enterprise network settings on first boot?

Press the dedicated iDRAC button during POST, set a static IP or enable DHCP, then log in via browser to complete the Enterprise licence activation.
