Storage-dense 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for storage-heavy workloads. Two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors deliver 24 cores each at 2.1 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo. 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory and 24 drive bays provide a dense platform for software-defined storage or virtual desktop infrastructure.

Suits capacity-first deployments.

This configuration fits buyers who need high spindle count and SAS throughput in a 2U form factor. The 24 installed 600 GB 10K SAS drives and H730P controller support RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Buyers who require lower latency or solid-state media should look at a different configuration.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS chassis decides fit

The server holds 24 hot-swap 2.5-inch SAS drives, which sets the storage ceiling for this unit. The PERC H730P with 2 GB cache manages the array, and the X520/I350 daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports. iDRAC 9 Enterprise and dual 1100 W platinum power supplies complete the package.

Questions about this item

How much heat and power do the dual Xeon Platinum 8160 CPUs and 1100 W redundant supplies generate under full load?

Two 24-core Xeon Platinum 8160 processors at 2.1 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo and dual 1100 W platinum-efficiency hot-swap power supplies deliver high compute density; exact thermal output varies with workload and ambient conditions.

Which cabling and rails are required to install this 2U chassis in a standard rack?

Ready Rails and a front bezel are included; you supply the rack, power cords, and network cables for the quad-port 1 GbE and 10 Gb SFP+ daughter card.

Can the PERC H730P controller manage the 24 installed 600 GB 10K SAS drives together with older SATA disks?

The H730P supports SAS and SATA in RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 and pass-through, so existing SATA drives can join the same controller.
