Dense 2U storage compute

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd packs two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors, each with 24 cores at 2.1 GHz, into a 2U rack chassis. With 128 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 slots, it targets virtual desktop infrastructure and software-defined storage workloads that demand high core density and memory bandwidth in limited rack space.

Headroom and limits

Eight of the 24 memory slots are populated, leaving 16 slots open for expansion up to the 3 TB maximum. The 24-bay 2.5-inch front panel holds two 300 GB 10K SAS drives on a PERC H730P 2 GB controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through, so capacity scales with additional SAS or SATA drives until the bay count or controller throughput is reached.

Build integration

Dual 1100 W platinum hot-swap supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management simplify deployment in standard racks using the included rails and bezel. A quad-port X520/I350 daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links for storage or cluster traffic, while the LGA 3647 platform and C620 chipset define the processor and memory upgrade path without requiring chassis changes.

Questions about this item

Will the server's two Xeon Platinum 8160 processors and 128 GB DDR4 work with my existing DDR4 registered ECC modules?

The system has 24 DIMM slots and currently holds eight 16 GB DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC modules; any additional modules must match that specification.

How can I confirm the PERC H730P controller and the X520/I350 network card are operating correctly after installation?

Use the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface to view controller firmware version, battery health, RAID virtual disks, and the four network ports' link status and speeds.

Which components are included in the shipment and what must I source separately?

The unit ships with two CPUs, 128 GB memory, H730P controller with battery, two 300 GB 10K SAS drives, X520/I350 quad-port card, iDRAC9 Enterprise, two 1100 W PSUs, bezel and rails; additional drives, hypervisor licences and SFP+ optics are not included.
