Storage-dense 2U platform

The PowerEdge R740xd fits twelve 3.5-inch drives in a two-socket 2U chassis, giving software-defined storage clusters and virtual desktop farms high capacity without expanding rack footprint. Dual Xeon Silver 4110 processors and 256 GB of DDR4 provide the compute headroom for concurrent workloads.

Sustained multi-node throughput

Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies and the H730P controller with 2 GB cache keep all twelve spindles fed during long rebuilds or continuous write streams. The X520/I350 daughter card adds two 10 Gb SFP+ and two 1 GbE ports so storage traffic leaves the node without bottlenecks.

Twelve-bay 3.5-inch limit

Only twelve large-form-factor bays are available; buyers who need more raw bays or 2.5-inch density must choose a different chassis. Maximum memory reaches 3 TB across twenty-four slots, so future growth stays inside the same 2U envelope.

Questions about this item

How much heat and power draw can I expect from the dual Xeon Silver 4110 CPUs and 750 W PSUs running 24/7?

Two 8-core Xeon Silver 4110 processors at 2.1 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo, backed by redundant 750 W platinum power supplies, determine the thermal and electrical load.

What rack, cabling and networking gear must I already have to install this 2U server?

The server fits a standard 2U rack space and includes ready rails and a bezel; you supply rack mounting, power cords for the dual PSUs and cables for the quad-port 1 GbE and 10 Gb SFP+ network card.

Will my existing SAS or SATA drives and DDR4 memory work with the PERC H730P controller and 24 DIMM slots?

The PERC H730P supports 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA drives, and the 24 slots accept DDR4 registered ECC modules up to the 3 TB maximum.
