Storage-dense 2U platform

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd fits twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays into a two-socket 2U chassis. Dual Intel Xeon Gold 6142 processors provide thirty-two cores at 2.6 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo. 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across sixteen 32 GB modules supports large virtualisation or software-defined storage workloads.

Redundant platinum power and managed airflow

Two hot-swap 1100 watt platinum power supplies deliver N+1 redundancy for continuous operation. The 2U form factor uses Dell's engineered airflow path to cool the CPUs, memory and twenty-four 10 K SAS drives under sustained load. iDRAC 9 Enterprise provides remote thermal monitoring and power management without host OS involvement.

PERC H730P RAID and quad-port networking

The integrated PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache enables RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode for the twenty-four 300 GB SAS drives. An Intel X520/I350 daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports for storage and management traffic separation. ReadyRails and front bezel are included for immediate rack deployment.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 24 x 300 GB SAS drives into the 2.5 inch bays, and what step is often missed?

Slide each drive into a front bay until the latch clicks; the step often missed is creating a virtual disk in the PERC H730P BIOS before the OS sees any volume.

Which components will need replacement first during long-term operation?

The 24 x 300 GB 10 K SAS drives and the two 1100 W power supplies are the primary field-replaceable units; the H730P battery also degrades over time.

What thermal or power limit appears first when the dual Xeon Gold 6142 CPUs run at 3.7 GHz turbo continuously?

The 1100 W platinum power supplies set the ceiling; sustained all-core turbo on both 16-core processors can exceed their combined output before cooling becomes the bottleneck.
