Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for workloads that demand high drive density in a compact footprint. Two Intel Xeon Gold 6142 processors provide 32 total cores at 2.6 GHz, with turbo up to 3.7 GHz. The system ships with 768 GB of DDR4-2666 registered ECC memory across 24 slots. It targets software-defined storage, virtual desktop infrastructure and service-provider environments that need compute and capacity in one chassis.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS/SATA backplane

The defining specification is the front-loading 24-bay backplane that accepts 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives. A Dell PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. No drives are included, so the buyer selects capacity and media type to match the application. The board provides 24 DIMM slots and a maximum memory ceiling of 3 TB for future expansion.

Redundant 1100 W platinum power supplies

Dual hot-swap 1100 W platinum-efficiency power supplies deliver full redundancy for continuous operation. The Intel C620 chipset and LGA 3647 sockets support the installed dual-processor configuration without headroom for additional CPUs. Network I/O is handled by an Intel X520/I350 daughter card offering two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports. iDRAC 9 Enterprise enables remote management and monitoring under sustained load. Rails and front bezel are included for rack installation.
