Dense 2U storage server

The PowerEdge R740xd packs twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays into a 2U rack chassis. Dual Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors deliver 32 total cores at 2.1 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo. The system ships with 256 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules. It targets software-defined storage, service-provider workloads and virtual desktop infrastructure.

Dual 1100 W platinum supplies

Redundant hot-swap 1100 watt platinum-efficiency power supplies share the load and allow replacement without downtime. The LGA 3647 socket and Intel C620 chipset support the installed 16-core CPUs within their rated thermal envelope. Front-to-rear airflow across the dense drive bay area keeps SAS drives and memory modules at operating temperature under sustained I/O.

PERC H730P with battery-backed cache

The Dell PERC H730P controller provides 2 GB cache with battery backup and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 plus pass-through mode. Twenty-four 600 GB 10K SAS drives connect through 12 Gb/s backplanes for high sequential throughput. Quad-port networking adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links via an Intel X520/I350 daughter card. iDRAC 9 Enterprise enables full out-of-band management. Ready Rails and a front bezel are included for immediate rack integration.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 24x 600GB SAS drives and the H730P controller, and what step is often missed?

Slide each 2.5" drive into the front hot-swap bays until the latch clicks, then seat the H730P in its dedicated internal slot; the step often missed is connecting the controller's battery backup cable before closing the chassis.

What maintenance or replacement will the H730P controller need later?

The H730P includes a 2GB cache battery that typically requires replacement after several years to preserve write-back caching during power loss.

What limit appears first under sustained load with the dual Xeon Gold 6130 CPUs and 1100W PSUs?

Thermal throttling of the 2.1GHz 16-core processors can occur before the redundant 1100W platinum power supplies reach their capacity ceiling.
