High-density 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack-mount server built for storage-heavy workloads. It ships with dual Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors running at 2.1 GHz, each providing 16 cores. The system includes 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 16 modules and a PERC H730P RAID controller with 2 GB cache. Twenty-four 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives fill every 2.5-inch bay, delivering high-capacity local storage in a compact chassis.

Suits software-defined storage and VDI

This configuration targets organisations deploying software-defined storage clusters, virtual desktop infrastructure or service-provider platforms where drive count and memory capacity matter. The quad-port network daughter card supplies two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links for flexible connectivity. Buyers who need fewer drive bays, lower memory capacity or a smaller rack footprint should evaluate alternative platforms.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS chassis decides fit

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch SAS backplane paired with the H730P controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. This layout determines whether the server can accommodate the required number of spinning drives and the desired RAID topology. Redundant 1100 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise remote management complete the baseline feature set.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the PERC H730P controller is managing the 24 2.4TB SAS drives correctly after installation?

Open the PERC H730P BIOS during boot or use the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface to confirm all 24 drives appear, the desired RAID level is active, and the 2GB cache battery shows healthy.

Which components are included and what must be purchased separately for this R740xd?

The server ships with 2 Xeon Gold 6130 CPUs, 512GB DDR4 in 16 slots, 24 2.4TB SAS drives, H730P controller, X520/I350 quad-port card, iDRAC9 Enterprise, 2 1100W PSUs, rails and bezel. No extra parts are required for operation.

Which memory configuration should I choose if I need to expand beyond the installed 512GB?

The system has 24 DDR4 slots with 16 occupied by 32GB modules. Add registered ECC DDR4 2666MHz DIMMs in the 8 free slots up to the 3TB maximum supported by the C620 chipset.
