Dell PowerEdge R740xd 2U server

This 2U rack server fits two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 24 cores. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 16 modules and a Dell PERC H730P storage controller. The chassis provides 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch SAS/SATA drive trays and dual 1100-watt redundant power supplies.

Suited for storage-heavy workloads

The platform targets software-defined storage, virtual desktop infrastructure and service-provider deployments that need dense internal capacity in a 2U form factor. Buyers who require PCIe direct-attached bays or higher GPU density should evaluate other platforms.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS/SATA backplane

The single specification that determines fit is the 24 hot-swap trays wired to a 12 Gb/s PERC H730P controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through. Confirm your workload matches this drive-count and interface before purchasing.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 24 2.5-inch drive trays, and what step is often missed?

Slide each tray into the front bays until the latch clicks; the step people skip is seating the tray fully so the SAS/SATA backplane connector engages.

What maintenance will the PERC H730P controller need later?

The controller uses a 2GB cache with a battery; plan to replace the battery when iDRAC 9 Enterprise reports a degraded cache state.

What limit appears first under sustained load with the dual Xeon 8160 CPUs?

The 1100-watt redundant power supplies set the thermal ceiling; sustained turbo at 3.7 GHz across 24 cores per socket will hit the power budget before CPU temperature throttles.
