DELL PowerEdge R740xd 2U server

The DELL PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for storage-dense workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors, each running at 2.3 GHz with 12 cores, and 512 GB of DDR4 memory across 16 modules. A PERC H730P controller manages 24 installed 800 GB SATA SSDs, while redundant 1100 W power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise support continuous operation.

Suited for software-defined storage

This platform suits organisations deploying software-defined storage, service-provider infrastructure or virtual desktop environments where high drive counts and dual-socket compute are required. Buyers who need more than 24 drive bays, single-socket economics or GPU-accelerated compute should evaluate other platforms.

24-bay 2.5-inch chassis with SATA SSDs

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis populated with 800 GB SATA SSDs behind a PERC H730P controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. This density and controller combination determines whether the system matches a given storage capacity and redundancy requirement.

Questions about this item

What network ports come built in so I can connect it to my existing switches?

The board includes an Intel X520/I350 daughter card with two 1 GbE ports and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports for direct fibre or copper uplinks.

Do the installed SSDs use a standard SATA interface that my current RAID controller can recognise?

Yes, the 24 drives are 2.5-inch SATA 6 Gb/s SSDs and the PERC H730P controller supports SATA RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60.

How can I confirm the iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management is active after the first boot?

During POST the iDRAC IP address appears on screen; browse to that address and the Enterprise licence lets you open a virtual console, update firmware and monitor hardware health.
