Purpose-built storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rackmount server designed for storage-intensive workloads such as software-defined storage and virtual desktop infrastructure. It ships with dual Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors running at 3.2 GHz with a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. Sixteen 32 GB DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC modules provide 512 GB of memory across 24 slots. The system targets organisations that need high drive density in a compact rack footprint.

Drive capacity and controller

Twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays connect to a Dell PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. Two 400 GB SATA 6 Gb/s enterprise SSDs are installed from the factory. The 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller handles mixed drive types without requiring an additional HBA. Buyers who need more storage than two SSDs provide must populate the remaining bays themselves.

Cooling and power redundancy

Dual 1100 watt platinum-efficiency power supplies operate in redundant hot-swap configuration to maintain uptime during a module failure. Standard Dell rack rails and a front bezel are included for straightforward cabinet installation. The 2U chassis uses internal airflow management suited to dense storage deployments. Operators who require a single non-redundant supply or a different form factor should evaluate alternative platforms.

Questions about this item

How does the 3.2 GHz base clock translate to actual throughput on the two Xeon Gold 6134 CPUs?

Each processor runs 8 cores at 3.2 GHz with a 3.7 GHz turbo, giving 16 cores total for parallel workloads.

What does the PERC H730P 12 Gb/s controller limit in real use?

The controller caps SAS and SATA drives at 12 Gb/s and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with its 2 GB cache.

What clearance and rail kit are needed to install the 2U chassis?

The unit occupies 2U of rack height and ships with Ready Rails sliding rails and a front bezel for standard rack mounting.
