2U Rack Server with Dual Xeon Gold

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors running at 3.2 GHz. Each CPU provides eight cores for a total of sixteen cores. The system ships with 512 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across sixteen modules. A PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache manages the two installed 800 GB SATA SSDs.

Suits Storage-Dense Virtualisation.

This configuration targets software-defined storage, virtual desktop infrastructure or service-provider deployments that need dense 2.5-inch drive bays in a 2U form factor. The quad-port network daughter card supplies two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links. Organisations requiring GPU acceleration or large numbers of PCIe add-in cards should evaluate alternative platforms.

24-Bay 2.5-Inch Chassis Decides Fit

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch front drive cage, which sets the storage ceiling and physical footprint. With only two 800 GB SSDs populated, twenty-two bays remain open for additional SATA or SAS drives. Buyers must verify that the 2U height and 2.5-inch drive format match their rack and capacity plans.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the R740xd get when both 3.2 GHz Xeon Gold 6134 CPUs run at full load all day?

Dual 1100 W platinum power supplies and redundant hot-swap cooling keep the 2U chassis within Dell thermal limits; actual acoustics depend on workload and inlet temperature.

What rack infrastructure must I already have to mount this 2U server?

The box includes Dell Ready Rails and a front bezel; you need a standard 2U rack opening and power circuits rated for the dual 1100 W supplies.

Can I keep using my existing DDR4 2666 MHz RDIMMs to expand the 512 GB already installed?

Yes — the system has 24 DDR4 slots and supports up to 3 TB; populated slots use 16 × 32 GB modules, leaving eight slots free for matching RDIMMs.
