PowerEdge R740xd 2U 24 Bay Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rackmount server built for storage-dense workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores, and 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules. A PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache manages the 24 front-access 2.5-inch drive bays, which currently hold two 400 GB SATA SSDs. Dual 1100 W platinum power supplies, iDRAC9 Enterprise, quad-port networking with two 10 Gb SFP+ and two 1 GbE ports, plus rails and bezel complete the package.

Ideal for software-defined storage

This configuration suits organisations that need high core counts and large memory capacity inside a compact 2U form factor with room to grow the storage array. The 24 hot-swap bays and hardware RAID controller support SATA and SAS drives in multiple RAID levels. Buyers who need more than two processor sockets, a different drive interface than SATA or SAS, or a chassis deeper than 2U should evaluate other platforms.

PERC H730P RAID controller with 2 GB cache

The installed Dell PERC H730P controller provides 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA connectivity with battery-backed write cache and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. This single component determines the RAID levels available, the maximum drive count the controller can address, and whether the existing 400 GB SSDs can be expanded with additional SAS or SATA drives without adding a second controller card.

Questions about this item

Will my existing 2.5-inch SATA SSDs work with the PERC H730P controller in this R740xd?

Yes, the H730P supports SATA and SAS drives, so your 2.5-inch SATA SSDs can be installed in the 24 front bays and configured in RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60.

How do I verify the two Xeon Gold 6130 CPUs and 256 GB of DDR4 are recognised after first boot?

Open the iDRAC9 Enterprise web interface or press F2 at the BIOS prompt; both screens will show 2 processors, 32 total cores and 256 GB of registered ECC memory running at 2666 MHz.

Which items ship with the server and what must I source separately?

The unit includes the 2U chassis with bezel, ready rails, two 1100 W platinum PSUs, two Xeon Gold 6130 CPUs, 256 GB DDR4, H730P controller with battery, two 400 GB SATA SSDs, X520/I350 quad-port NIC and iDRAC9 Enterprise licence. Additional drives, OS licences and SFP+ transceivers are not included.
