Dell PowerEdge R740xd 2U Storage Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for storage-dense workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors running at 2.3 GHz with 12 cores each and 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots.

Suits software-defined storage

This configuration suits service providers and virtual desktop infrastructure deployments that need high capacity in a compact form factor. Buyers who require all-flash performance tiers or GPU compute acceleration should evaluate other platforms because this unit uses only SATA drive bays and has no GPU provision.

Twelve 3.5-inch SATA bays with PERC H730P RAID

The chassis provides twelve 3.5-inch hot-swap bays populated with 4 TB 7.2K SATA drives. The PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes for flexible data protection.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the PERC H730P controller and all twelve 4 TB drives are healthy after installation?

Open the iDRAC9 Enterprise web interface, navigate to the storage section and verify the H730P firmware version, battery status and that each 4 TB 7.2K SATA drive shows "Ready" with no predictive failures.

What components ship with the server and what must I source separately?

The unit includes 2 Xeon Gold 5118 processors, 768 GB DDR4 in 24 slots, H730P controller, 12 x 4 TB 3.5" SATA HDDs, X520/I350 quad-port NIC, iDRAC9 Enterprise, 2 x 750 W PSUs, bezel and rails; OS licences, hypervisor media and SFP+ transceivers are not included.

Which memory configuration should I choose if I need more capacity later?

The board has 24 DDR4 slots and supports up to 3 TB; all 24 slots are currently populated with 32 GB modules, so any expansion requires replacing existing DIMMs with higher-capacity DDR4 registered ECC modules.
