2U dual-socket Xeon server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors running at 3.2 GHz with eight cores each. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory and twenty-four 400 GB SATA SSDs managed by a PERC H730P controller. The platform targets software-defined storage, service-provider workloads and virtual desktop infrastructure deployments.

Verify rack depth and power feed

Confirm the cabinet can accommodate a 2U chassis and that dual 1100 W platinum power supplies match the available PDU outlets and voltage. The system uses LGA 3647 sockets and the Intel C620 chipset with twenty-four DIMM slots, so memory expansion must use DDR4 registered ECC modules. Network connectivity relies on a quad-port daughter card providing two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ interfaces.

Dense storage with remote management

Twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays fill the front panel, leaving no internal bays for additional spinning disks without external enclosures. The PERC H730P supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through, freeing CPU cycles from parity calculations. iDRAC 9 Enterprise enables out-of-band control, while included ready rails and bezel simplify rack integration.

Questions about this item

Does the server ship with all 24 drive bays populated and are rails and bezel included?

Yes, 24x 400GB SATA SSDs fill every 2.5" bay and the listing includes Ready Rails plus the front bezel.

Should I choose the H730P or a different controller for mixed RAID and pass-through workloads?

The installed PERC H730P 2GB supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 and pass-through mode for the 24 SSDs.

What throughput can I expect from the 10Gb SFP+ ports once the X520/I350 card is in a live network?

The daughter card provides two 10Gb SFP+ and two 1GbE ports; actual throughput depends on cabling, switch config and workload.
