Dell PowerEdge R740xd 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for storage-dense workloads. It carries two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors at 2.3 GHz with 12 cores each and 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots. A PERC H730P controller manages 24 front-access 2.5-inch SATA SSDs of 800 GB each, while an Intel X520/I350 daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports. iDRAC 9 Enterprise and redundant 1100 W platinum power supplies complete the package.

Ideal for software-defined storage

This server suits organisations that need high drive counts in a compact 2U form factor with dual-socket compute and hardware RAID flexibility. The 24-bay chassis and H730P controller support RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through, making it a good fit for scale-out storage clusters or VDI host pools. Buyers who need more than two processors, PCIe-attached flash or a different drive interface should evaluate other platforms, as this system maxes at two sockets and uses SATA SSDs on a SAS/SATA controller.

24-bay 2.5-inch SATA SSD capacity

The defining specification is the 24 x 800 GB SATA SSD array presented to the PERC H730P controller. That drive count and interface determine whether the storage density and throughput match the target workload, and they also fix the upgrade path to SATA or SAS devices only.

Questions about this item

What rack height and rail kit does the R740xd need for mounting?

The server is a 2U rack system and includes Dell Ready Rails for tool-less installation in standard racks.

How are the 24 SSDs and the H730P controller installed, and what step is often missed?

The 24 x 800GB SATA SSDs populate the front 2.5-inch drive bays; the H730P controller installs in a dedicated internal slot and the battery module must be connected for RAID write-back caching.

Which components will need replacement first in the R740xd?

The H730P RAID battery and the two 1100 W hot-swap power supplies are the primary field-replaceable units; DDR4 memory slots and drive bays support later upgrades if capacity needs grow.
