Storage-dense 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built around 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch drive bays and a PERC H730P controller that supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors deliver 32 total cores at 2.1 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo, while 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory fills all 24 slots. Dual 1100 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise provide redundancy and remote management out of the box.

Suits storage-heavy workloads

This configuration fits software-defined storage clusters, backup targets and virtual desktop infrastructure where capacity and internal drive count matter most. The quad-port network daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links for flexible connectivity. Buyers who need more than two sockets, GPU acceleration or a smaller chassis should evaluate other platforms.

24-bay 2.5-inch chassis

The defining constraint is the 24-drive 2.5-inch backplane paired with the H730P controller; it dictates how many SAS or SATA drives you can install internally and which RAID levels are available. Verify that your drive count and RAID requirements match this layout before purchasing.

Questions about this item

What rack height and rail kit does the PowerEdge R740xd need for mounting?

The server is a 2U rack system and includes ready rails for installation in a standard rack.

How do I install the PERC H730P controller and what step is often missed?

The H730P is pre-installed with a 2GB cache battery; verify the battery is seated and the controller firmware is updated before creating virtual disks.

Which memory modules will I need when expanding the 768GB DDR4 configuration later?

The system uses DDR4 2666MHz registered ECC DIMMs across 24 slots; add matching 32GB modules to maintain quad-channel performance up to the 3TB maximum.
