Dell PowerEdge R740xd 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for storage-dense workloads. It carries two Intel Xeon Silver 4110 processors at 2.1 GHz with eight cores each and 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots. Twelve 3.5-inch drive bays hold 8 TB SATA hard drives on a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise complete the platform.

Suits software-defined storage

This configuration targets environments that need high capacity in a compact chassis, such as software-defined storage clusters, service-provider hosting or VDI deployments. The twelve-bay layout and hardware RAID support simplify large-volume management. Buyers who require all-flash performance or GPU-accelerated compute density should evaluate platforms designed for those workloads.

PERC H730P RAID controller with 2 GB cache

The storage controller defines the server’s data-protection and throughput envelope. The H730P supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode, backed by a battery-backed 2 GB cache. That feature set determines whether the array can meet your redundancy and write-performance requirements.

Questions about this item

Does the PERC H730P controller limit the 12Gb/s SAS link speed of the installed drives?

The PERC H730P supports 12Gb/s SAS and SATA, while the twelve 8TB drives run at 6Gb/s SATA, so the controller does not cap their native interface speed.

What hardware is included to secure the 2U chassis in a rack?

Ready rails and a front bezel are supplied with the server for rack installation.

What is the correct sequence for seating the CPUs and memory before the first power-on?

Install both Xeon Silver 4110 processors into the LGA 3647 sockets, populate the DDR4 registered ECC DIMMs in the supported slots, then apply power; skipping the memory configuration order can prevent POST.
