Dell PowerEdge R740xd 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack-mount server built for storage-dense workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors, each running at 2.3GHz with 12 cores, plus 64GB of DDR4 ECC memory across four 16GB modules. A PERC H730P RAID controller with 2GB cache manages the 24 installed 400GB SATA SSDs. Dual 1100W platinum power supplies, iDRAC9 Enterprise and ready rails complete the package.

Ideal for software-defined storage

This configuration suits organisations that need high drive counts in a compact 2U form factor with hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 support. The quad-port network daughter card provides two 1GbE and two 10Gb SFP+ connections for flexible fabric integration. Buyers who require more than two processor sockets, GPU-accelerated compute or a different drive interface should evaluate alternative platforms.

24-bay 2.5-inch SATA backplane with PERC H730P

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis paired with the PERC H730P controller, which only presents SATA and SAS connectivity to the installed SSDs. This determines whether the server matches a workload that relies on that drive interface and RAID feature set. Memory scales to 3TB across 24 DDR4 slots and the Intel C620 chipset supports up to two processors, both already populated.

Questions about this item

Does the 24-bay 2.5" chassis need a specific backplane or cabling kit to run the 24 installed 400 GB SATA SSDs?

The 2U chassis ships with the 24-bay 2.5" backplane and cables required for the 24 installed 400 GB SATA SSDs, so no extra kit is needed.

Will the PERC H730P 2 GB controller recognise the existing 2.5" SATA SSDs if I keep them and add larger drives later?

The H730P supports mixed SATA and SAS drives, so the current 400 GB SSDs will be recognised alongside any additional compatible drives you install.

How can I confirm the dual Xeon Gold 5118 CPUs and 64 GB DDR4 are running at their rated 2.3 GHz and 2400 MHz after first boot?

Open iDRAC9 Enterprise or the BIOS System Profile and verify both CPUs show 2.3 GHz base clock and the memory reports 2400 MHz DDR4 operation.
