Dell PowerEdge R740xd 12 Bay Storage Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for storage-heavy workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores. The system includes 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across four modules. A PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache manages the twelve 3.5-inch drive bays.

Suited for software-defined storage

This platform fits service providers and teams deploying virtual desktop infrastructure who need dense 3.5-inch capacity in a 2U form factor. The dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise support continuous remote management. Buyers who require installed solid-state drives or a GPU accelerator beyond the integrated Matrox G200 should evaluate other configurations.

Twelve 3.5-inch SAS/SATA trays

The chassis provides twelve hot-swap trays wired to the H730P controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. No hard disk drives or solid-state drives are installed, so the buyer must supply compatible 3.5-inch media. This tray count and drive interface are the decisive factors when matching the server to a storage plan.

Questions about this item

What memory modules are required to expand the 64GB DDR4 installed in the 24 slots?

Registered ECC DDR4 2666MHz modules are required; the system has 24 slots and supports up to 3TB total capacity.

Can the 12Gb/s SAS controller work with existing 6Gb/s SATA drives in the 3.5" trays?

Yes, the PERC H730P controller supports both SAS and SATA drives; 12x 3.5" trays accept either interface at negotiated speeds.

How do I confirm the iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management is active after power-on?

Connect to the dedicated iDRAC network port; the web interface will load at the configured IP address once the controller initialises.
