Storage-dense 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for workloads that need internal capacity alongside compute power. It fits twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays in a two-socket chassis, making it suitable for software-defined storage, virtual desktop infrastructure or service-provider environments.

Hot-swap chassis with redundant power

The enclosure supports hot-swap drives and includes two 1100 watt platinum-efficiency power supplies for redundancy. A PERC H730P 2GB controller manages SAS and SATA drives with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through, while an Intel X520/I350 daughter card adds two 1GbE and two 10Gb SFP+ ports. iDRAC9 Enterprise provides out-of-band remote management. Ready rails and a front bezel are included for rack installation.

Dual 16-core Xeon platform limits

Two Intel Xeon Gold 6142 processors run at 2.6 GHz with a 3.7 GHz turbo, delivering thirty-two cores total across LGA 3647 sockets on the Intel C620 chipset. The system ships with 64 GB of DDR4-2666 registered ECC memory in four slots and can scale to 3 TB across twenty-four slots. Maximum processor count is two, so CPU expansion stops at the factory configuration.

Questions about this item

Does the PERC H730P controller limit the SAS drives to 12Gb/s?

The PERC H730P is a 12Gb/s SAS/SATA controller; the installed 300GB drives run at 12Gb/s, so the interface caps at that speed.

What physical space and rails are required to mount this 2U server?

The server is a 2U rack unit and ships with Ready Rails for tool-less mounting in a standard four-post rack.

How are the two Xeon Gold 6142 processors installed, and what step is often missed?

Both CPUs come pre-installed in the dual LGA 3647 sockets; the step people miss is populating memory slots in the correct per-processor channel order for 2666MHz operation.
