Storage-dense 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for storage-heavy workloads such as software-defined storage and virtual desktop infrastructure. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores and a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across eight 16 GB modules. Twenty-four 300 GB 10K SAS 2.5-inch drives provide high-density capacity.

Compatibility checklist

Verify that your rack supplies 2U of vertical space and supports the included sliding rails. Confirm the facility can deliver redundant power to two 1100 W platinum-efficiency supplies. Ensure your network infrastructure can use the quad-port daughter card with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections. The PERC H730P controller manages SAS and SATA drives with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through.

Build integration

The server occupies a standard 2U rack slot and includes a front bezel for a clean appearance. Dual 1100 W hot-swap power supplies free the deployment from single-point power failure. iDRAC 9 Enterprise enables remote management without a local console. Sixteen free DDR4 slots allow memory expansion up to 3 TB. The X520/I350 network card leaves standard PCIe slots open for additional adapters.

Questions about this item

Does the server ship with all 24 drive bays populated or do I need to buy drives separately?

The unit includes 24 Dell Enterprise 300GB 10K SAS 2.5" hard drives already installed, so no additional drives are required for a full 24-bay configuration.

Which RAID levels does the PERC H730P 2GB controller support on this system?

The H730P controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode for the 24 installed SAS drives.

What is the maximum turbo frequency the two Xeon Gold 6130 processors can reach under load?

Each 16-core Xeon Gold 6130 has a base clock of 2.1 GHz and can boost up to 3.7 GHz when thermal headroom allows.
