PowerEdge R740xd 2U 12-bay server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server that fits twelve 3.5-inch drive bays. Two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors run at 2.3 GHz with twelve cores each. The system includes 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across sixteen 32 GB modules. A PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache manages twelve 4 TB enterprise SATA drives.

Suited for storage-dense workloads

This configuration targets software-defined storage, virtual desktop infrastructure and service-provider deployments that prioritise capacity over flash speed. The quad-port network daughter card supplies two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links, while iDRAC 9 Enterprise handles remote management. Buyers who need all-flash performance, GPU acceleration or more than two processors should look at alternative configurations because the chassis and controller are designed around SATA and SAS hard drives without PCIe flash or compute accelerator provisioning.

PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache

The storage controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. It connects to the twelve installed 7.2 K RPM SATA drives through a 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA interface. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies and sliding rails with a front bezel complete the package.

Questions about this item

What rack space and power connections must I already have to install this 2U server?

The unit occupies 2U of rack height and requires two 750 Watt redundant hot-swap power supplies connected to a compatible rack PDU or UPS.

Can I keep using my existing SATA drives alongside the installed 4TB drives in the 12-bay chassis?

Yes, the PERC H730P controller supports SATA and SAS drives, so additional 3.5" SATA drives can be added to any free bay and configured in RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 or pass-through.

How do I confirm the iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management is reachable after first power-on?

Connect the dedicated iDRAC network port, then browse to the IP shown on the front LCD panel; the login screen confirms the management controller is active.
