Storage-dense 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for storage-heavy workloads. It fits twenty-four 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drive trays and uses a PERC H730P controller with 2GB cache. Two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors provide thirty-two cores at 2.1GHz with 3.7GHz turbo. The system ships with 512GB of DDR4 2666MHz registered ECC memory across sixteen slots.

Best for software-defined storage and virtualisation

This platform suits organisations deploying software-defined storage, virtual desktop infrastructure or dense virtualisation clusters. The quad-port network daughter card adds two 1GbE and two 10Gb SFP+ connections. Redundant 1100W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise simplify remote management. Buyers needing GPU compute density or single-socket economics should evaluate different platforms.

Twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays decide fit

The defining specification is the twenty-four front-accessible 2.5-inch trays supporting SAS and SATA drives. Maximum memory capacity reaches 3TB across twenty-four DDR4 slots. The H730P controller enables RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through. No drives are included, so capacity planning starts with the tray count.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the PERC H730P controller is operating correctly after installation?

Check the controller BIOS during boot for the 2GB cache status and verify all 24 drive bays report ready; iDRAC9 Enterprise will also show controller health and battery condition in its hardware inventory.

What ships with the server and which components must be sourced separately?

Included are 2x Xeon Gold 6130 processors, 512GB DDR4 2666MHz ECC memory (16x 32GB), H730P 2GB controller, 24x 2.5" drive trays, X520/I350 quad-port network card, iDRAC9 Enterprise, 2x 1100W PSUs, bezel and rails; drives are not included.

Which memory configuration should I select if I want to expand beyond the installed 512GB?

The system has 24 DDR4 slots and supports up to 3TB; populate remaining slots with registered ECC DDR4 2666MHz modules in matched pairs per processor to maintain quad-channel performance.
