Dense compute in 2U

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd fits twelve 3.5-inch drive bays and two Xeon Silver 4216 processors into a 2U rack chassis. Each CPU delivers sixteen cores at 2.1GHz with 22MB cache, giving thirty-two threads for virtualisation, database or analytics workloads. The system ships with 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller. Integrated graphics handle console output without a discrete card.

Rack-ready hardware

Front-access bays accept twelve 3.5-inch SATA drives for high-capacity arrays, while the H730P manages RAID levels from the front panel. Dual 1100W power supplies share the load and keep the server running if one unit fails. iDRAC9 Enterprise provides remote KVM, power control and firmware updates over a dedicated network port. A 10GbE two-port 562T adapter is installed for high-throughput connectivity.

Verify your environment

Confirm the rack depth can accommodate the 36-inch chassis and that the 40-pound weight is within your rail rating. Ensure 3.5-inch SATA drives are sourced separately because no drives are installed. Check that the 256GB DDR4 population matches your memory-channel plan before adding modules up to the 3TB limit. Validate that the 10GbE switch ports and cabling suit the 562T adapter.

Questions about this item

What drive interface does the PERC H730P controller support on this R740xd?

The PERC H730P controller connects to SATA drives installed in the twelve 3.5-inch front bays.

What rack clearance does the 36 x 24 x 10 inch chassis require?

The 2U chassis measures 36 inches deep, 24 inches wide and 10 inches high, so allow at least 36 inches of rail depth plus cable room.

How are the two Xeon Silver 4216 processors and 256 GB DDR4 memory installed, and what step is often missed?

Both CPUs and all memory modules are pre-installed; the common oversight is forgetting to license and configure iDRAC9 Enterprise for remote management before deployment.
