Storage-dense 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rackmount server fitted with twelve 3.5-inch drive bays. Two Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors run at 3.2 GHz with eight cores each, supported by 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight modules. A PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache manages the twelve 6 TB enterprise SATA drives, while redundant 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise complete the platform.

Suits high-capacity storage workloads

This configuration targets software-defined storage clusters, backup repositories and virtual desktop infrastructure where raw capacity and dual-socket compute must share a 2U footprint. The quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links for storage and management traffic. Buyers who need flash-only arrays, GPU acceleration or single-socket density should evaluate other platforms.

Twelve-bay 3.5-inch chassis

The twelve 3.5-inch bays and H730P controller define the storage ceiling; no additional internal 3.5-inch drives can be added beyond the twelve installed. Memory scales to 3 TB across twenty-four DDR4 slots if the workload later demands more RAM. Network expansion relies on the existing X520/I350 daughter card or PCIe add-in cards.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the two Xeon Gold 6134 CPUs are running at 3.2 GHz with turbo up to 3.7 GHz after installation?

Check the BIOS or iDRAC9 Enterprise dashboard; both will report each processor at 3.2 GHz base clock and show 3.7 GHz turbo when workload demands it.

Which drives, rails, bezel and power supplies ship with the R740xd and what must I source myself?

The box includes 12 x 6 TB 3.5" 7.2K SATA HDDs, H730P controller with battery, X520/I350 quad-port NIC, 2 x 750 W platinum PSUs, ready rails and front bezel; only additional memory or drives need separate purchase.

Should I choose the 128 GB (8 x 16 GB) DDR4 2666 MHz configuration or plan to fill all 24 slots up to 3 TB?

The installed 128 GB across 8 modules leaves 16 empty slots; start here and add registered ECC DDR4 2666 MHz DIMMs later if workloads exceed the current capacity.
