Storage-dense 2U platform

The PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for workloads that demand high local capacity. Two Xeon Silver 4116 processors provide 24 cores at 2.1 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo. 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory fills 16 of the 24 available slots.

Suits storage-first deployments.

This configuration targets software-defined storage, backup targets and virtual desktop infrastructure where drive count matters. Buyers who need all-flash speed, GPU acceleration or a single-socket platform should look at different systems.

Twelve 3.5-inch bays with H730P RAID

The chassis holds twelve 6 TB 7.2 K SATA drives behind a PERC H730P 2 GB controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through. This drive count and controller combination determines whether the array meets your capacity and redundancy requirements.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the PERC H730P controller is operating correctly after installation?

The PERC H730P controller will initialise during POST and display its firmware version; the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface then shows controller health, battery status and all twelve 6 TB drives in the virtual-disk view.

Which components are included and which must be purchased separately?

Included are two Xeon Silver 4116 processors, sixteen 32 GB DDR4 modules for 512 GB total, the H730P 2 GB controller, twelve 6 TB 3.5" SATA drives, the X520/I350 quad-port network card, iDRAC9 Enterprise, two 750 W PSUs, rails and bezel; no additional parts are required for basic operation.

Which memory capacity should I choose for this configuration?

The system ships with 512 GB DDR4 across sixteen 32 GB modules, leaving eight of the twenty-four slots free for future expansion up to the 3 TB maximum.
