PowerEdge R740xd 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for storage-heavy workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors running at 2.1 GHz with 24 cores each. Memory capacity is 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC across 24 slots. Twelve 3.5-inch 6 TB enterprise hard drives provide high-density capacity.

Installation notes for 12-bay chassis

The server includes ready rails and a front bezel for standard rack mounting. Redundant hot-swap 750 W power supplies allow replacement without downtime. The PERC H730P controller manages 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA drives with battery-backed cache. Drive carriers are hot-swappable from the front for simple expansion or replacement.

Pre-order checklist for buyers

Verify that your rack provides 2U of space and supports the included rail kit depth. Confirm the Intel C620 chipset and LGA 3647 socket match any planned processor changes. Ensure network infrastructure can use the X520/I350 card with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports. Check that iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management fits your existing monitoring tools.
