Dense 2U storage server

This 2U rack system pairs two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors with 24 cores each at 2.1 GHz, 128 GB of DDR4 ECC memory and a PERC H730P controller driving twenty-four 1.2 TB SAS drives. Redundant 1100 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise management are included. It targets workloads that demand high drive counts in a compact chassis.

Suits storage-heavy clusters, not minimal builds

Organisations running software-defined storage, virtual desktop infrastructure or service-provider platforms benefit from the dense drive bay layout and dual 10 Gb SFP+ ports. Buyers who need fewer drives, lower power draw or a smaller rack footprint should evaluate other configurations.

Twenty-four 1.2 TB SAS drives decide fit

The chassis is populated with 24 enterprise 10 K SAS spindles behind a H730P controller that supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. If the application requires a different drive count, interface or solid-state media, this unit will not match the requirement.

Questions about this item

What rail kit is required to install the 2U R740xd in a standard rack?

The server ships with Dell Ready Rails for tool-less mounting in a 2U rack space.

Will the PERC H730P controller recognise SATA drives if I add them alongside the installed SAS drives?

Yes, the H730P supports both SAS and SATA drives in the same backplane.

How can I confirm the dual Xeon 8160 processors and 128 GB DDR4 are detected after first boot?

Open the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface or enter BIOS to verify both CPUs and all memory modules are listed.
