Dell PowerEdge R740xd 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for storage-dense workloads. It carries two Intel Xeon Gold 6142 processors at 2.6 GHz with 16 cores each and 128 GB of DDR4 ECC memory. Twelve 3.5‑inch 6 TB SATA drives connect through a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise management are included.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

This server fits organisations that need high internal capacity in a compact 2U form factor for software-defined storage, virtual desktop infrastructure or archival workloads. Buyers who require more than twelve drive bays, faster flash media or GPU compute density should consider a different platform.

The specification that decides fit

The installed PERC H730P controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode on twelve SATA drives, so the array configuration you choose determines usable capacity and redundancy.

Questions about this item

What rack rails are required to mount the 2U server in a cabinet?

The unit ships with Ready Rails that mount directly to standard square-hole or threaded server racks.

Can the PERC H730P controller manage the 12 installed 6TB SATA drives together with older SAS drives I might add?

The controller supports mixed SAS and SATA drives across its 12Gb/s ports, so existing SAS disks can be added to the same backplane.

How do I confirm the dual Xeon Gold 6142 processors and 128GB DDR4 memory are recognised after power-on?

Open the iDRAC9 Enterprise web interface or watch the POST screen; both will list two 16-core CPUs at 2.6GHz and 128GB of registered ECC DDR4.
