Dense 2U rack server with dual Xeon Gold 6130 CPUs

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for storage density. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores each. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and a PERC H730P RAID controller with 2 GB cache. Two 800 GB SATA SSDs are installed in the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis.

Suited for storage-heavy virtualisation

This configuration targets environments that need high core counts and large drive bays in a compact rack height. The dual 10 GbE SFP+ ports and quad 1 GbE links support demanding network traffic. Organisations that require more than two processor sockets or need GPU compute density should evaluate alternative platforms. Buyers who need more than 3 TB of memory capacity will also need a different server class.

24-bay 2.5-inch front drive cage defines storage

The chassis provides 24 hot-swap 2.5-inch bays wired to the H730P controller for SAS and SATA drives. This bay count and drive form factor set the maximum number of devices you can install without external enclosures. The installed 800 GB SSDs occupy two of those bays. Ensure your storage plan fits within the 24-bay SATA/SAS constraint before purchase.

Questions about this item

What rack space and rail kit does the R740xd 2U server require?

The server occupies 2U of rack height and ships with Ready Rails for tool-less mounting in standard four-post racks.

How are the 2.5-inch drives installed in the 24-bay front chassis?

Drives slide into the hot-swap bays until the carrier latch clicks; the common error is not seating the latch fully, which prevents the backplane from detecting the SSD.

What memory upgrades does the 256GB DDR4 configuration support later?

Eight 32GB DDR4 2666MHz RDIMMs are installed across 24 slots; you can add up to 3TB total using registered ECC DDR4 modules.
