Purpose-built storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack platform designed for storage-heavy workloads such as software-defined storage and virtual desktop infrastructure. Two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors provide 24 cores at 2.3 GHz with 3.2 GHz turbo capability. The system ships with 512 GB of DDR4 ECC memory across 16 populated slots and a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache.

Suits dense capacity needs.

This configuration targets organisations that need up to 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch drive bays in a compact 2U height. Redundant 1100 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise remote management support continuous operation. Buyers who only require a few drives or a tower form factor should evaluate smaller platforms instead.

Included rails and bezel simplify deployment

Ready Rails and a front bezel arrive in the box so the server can be mounted immediately without separate accessory orders. The quad-port network daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections for flexible fabric integration.

Questions about this item

Does this R740xd ship with rails so I can mount it in my rack?

Yes, ready rails and a front bezel are included with the server.

Can the PERC H730P controller manage the two 400 GB SATA SSDs together with additional SATA drives I may add?

The H730P supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through, so the installed SSDs and any extra SATA drives can be grouped in the same arrays.

How can I verify the iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management is active after power-on?

Connect the iDRAC network port, then browse to its IP address; the Enterprise licence enables the full web console, virtual media and remote BIOS access.
