Storage-Dense 2U Server

The PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for storage-heavy workloads. Dual Xeon Gold 6134 processors at 3.2 GHz provide 16 total cores and 128 GB of DDR4 memory. Twelve 3.5-inch drive bays hold 4 TB SATA drives managed by a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache. Redundant 750 W power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management are included.

Suited for Archive and Virtualisation

This platform suits teams running software-defined storage, virtual desktop infrastructure or backup repositories that need high capacity in a compact rack footprint. The quad-port network daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links for flexible connectivity. Buyers who require all-flash performance or GPU compute density should evaluate other chassis designs.

Twelve 3.5-Inch Bays with H730P RAID

The defining specification is the twelve-bay 3.5-inch backplane paired with the PERC H730P controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. This combination determines whether the server can deliver the raw capacity and redundancy level your dataset demands.

Questions about this item

Does the 12 Gb/s SAS SATA controller cap the throughput of the twelve 3.5 inch 4 TB drives?

The PERC H730P 2 GB controller runs at 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA 6 Gb/s so the 7.2K SATA drives are limited by their own 6 Gb/s interface rather than the controller.

What physical parts come with the server to secure the 2U chassis in a rack?

Ready Rails sliding rails and a front bezel are included for rack mounting.

How is the iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management initially configured and what step is often missed?

Connect the dedicated iDRAC network port, access the web interface via the default address shown on the front LCD, then set a unique password and enable HTTPS before putting the server into production.
