Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rackmount system built around two Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors running at 3.2 GHz with eight cores each. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across eight modules and a PERC H730P 2 GB RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Twenty-four 2.5-inch SAS/SATA drive trays provide high-density internal storage, while a quad-port network daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections. iDRAC 9 Enterprise and dual 1100 W platinum power supplies complete the platform.

Suits storage-heavy workloads

This configuration targets software-defined storage clusters, virtual desktop infrastructure and service-provider environments that need maximum drive bays in a 2U form factor. Buyers who require GPU compute density, a 1U chassis or fewer than twenty-four drive slots should consider other form factors.

24-bay 2.5-inch tray count

The single specification that decides fit is the twenty-four 2.5-inch SAS/SATA trays combined with the H730P controller; if your deployment needs more or fewer bays, or a different backplane interface, this server will not match the requirement.

Questions about this item

Which drive trays and interface does the server provide for my own 2.5" SAS or SATA drives?

The chassis includes 24 front 2.5" trays that accept SAS or SATA drives, connected to the PERC H730P controller supporting RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60.

Will the dual Xeon Gold 6134 CPUs and C620 chipset run with my existing DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC modules?

Yes, the two LGA 3647 sockets and 24 DDR4 slots support registered ECC memory at 2666 MHz, matching the installed 128 GB configuration.

How can I confirm the PERC H730P, iDRAC9 Enterprise and quad-port X520/I350 NIC are all operational after installation?

During POST the H730P BIOS lists detected drives, iDRAC9 shows a dedicated IP on its LCD, and the X520/I350 ports display link LEDs for 1 GbE and 10 GbE SFP+ connections.
