Dense storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server designed for storage-heavy workloads such as software-defined storage or virtual desktop infrastructure. It fits twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays into a compact chassis while supporting two processors.

Hot-swap chassis and connectivity

Redundant 1100 Watt power supplies and hot-swap drive bays allow component replacement without downtime. The PERC H730P controller manages SAS and SATA drives across RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. A quad-port network daughter card provides two 1GbE and two 10Gb SFP+ links, while iDRAC 9 Enterprise handles remote management.

Dual Xeon thermals and power

Two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors run at 2.1 GHz with a 3.7 GHz turbo across 24 cores each. The 256 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory fills eight slots. Redundant platinum-efficiency power supplies share the load, keeping the system stable under sustained compute and storage demand.
