Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack-mount system fitted with two Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors running at 3.2 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo and eight cores each. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory installed across sixteen 32 GB modules. Twenty-four 2.5-inch 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives connect to a PERC H730P 2 GB controller that supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 1100 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management are included.

Suited for capacity-centric workloads

This server targets software-defined storage clusters, virtual desktop infrastructure farms and service-provider platforms that need high drive density in a 2U chassis. The twenty-four-bay layout and 512 GB of memory give room for large working sets and multiple RAID arrays. Organisations that require GPU compute, all-flash arrays or single-thread speeds beyond the 3.7 GHz turbo ceiling should evaluate alternative platforms.

PERC H730P controller dictates drive topology

The installed PERC H730P 2 GB 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller determines which drive types and RAID levels are supported. It manages the twenty-four SAS hard drives and enables pass-through mode for non-RAID configurations. Buyers must confirm that their operating system and workload are compatible with this controller before deployment.

Questions about this item

What rack-mount hardware is included so I can install this 2U server in my cabinet?

The system ships with Ready Rails and a front bezel for standard rack mounting.

Can I keep using my existing 12 Gb/s SAS drives with the PERC H730P controller in this server?

Yes, the H730P supports 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA drives in RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 or pass-through mode.

How can I verify the 512 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz memory is recognised after power-on?

Check the iDRAC 9 Enterprise inventory or the BIOS memory configuration screen; both will show 16 × 32 GB modules at 2666 MHz.
