Dense 2U storage server

The PowerEdge R740xd packs twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays and dual Xeon Gold 6134 processors into a 2U rack footprint. Eight-core CPUs at 3.2 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo and 256 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz ECC memory provide the compute base for software-defined storage or virtual desktop infrastructure workloads.

Upgrade from direct-attached arrays

The PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache brings hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 to twenty-four 300 GB 10K SAS drives, replacing JBOD shelves that lack integrated redundancy. The jump is worth it when you need a single chassis that delivers both high spindle count and dual-socket processing without a separate controller appliance.

Sustained throughput under load

Dual 1100 W platinum power supplies and redundant hot-swap cooling keep all twenty-four drives and both CPUs running at rated speed during continuous rebuilds or streaming writes. Quad-port networking with two 10 Gb SFP+ and two 1 GbE links prevents the network from becoming the bottleneck while iDRAC 9 Enterprise monitors thermals and power draw remotely.

Questions about this item

What rack space and rails are required to mount the 2U PowerEdge R740xd?

The server occupies 2U of rack height and ships with Ready Rails for standard 4-post mounting.

How are the 24 SAS drives installed, and what step is often missed?

Drives slide into the front 2.5" hot-swap bays; the PERC H730P RAID array must be configured in the controller BIOS before the OS sees any volume.

What maintenance will the H730P controller battery and the 1100 W power supplies need?

The H730P uses a replaceable battery backup unit for cache protection; both hot-swap PSUs can be swapped individually without powering down the server.
