Dense 2U Storage Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd packs twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays into a 2U rack chassis with dual Intel Xeon Gold 6142 processors running at 2.6 GHz. Each CPU provides 16 cores for a total of 32 cores and 768 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 slots. A PERC H730P 2 GB controller manages the 24 installed 800 GB SATA SSDs with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 support. Dual 1100 W platinum power supplies, iDRAC9 Enterprise, quad-port networking with two 10 Gb SFP+ and two 1 GbE ports, plus rails and bezel complete the package.

Suited For High-Capacity 2.5" Deployments

This platform targets software-defined storage clusters, virtual desktop infrastructure and service-provider workloads that demand maximum drive density in a 2U footprint. The 24-bay SATA configuration delivers substantial flash capacity with hardware RAID flexibility. Organisations requiring 3.5-inch drive support, more than 24 bays, or a different network interface mix should consider other chassis designs.

24-Bay 2.5-Inch SATA Constraint

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch SATA backplane paired with the H730P controller; it fixes both the physical drive form factor and the interface protocol. Buyers must confirm that 2.5-inch SATA SSDs or HDDs match their capacity and performance requirements before deployment.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 24 SATA SSDs into the 2.5-inch bays of this 2U rack server, and which step is commonly missed?

Slide each 2.5-inch SATA SSD into the hot-swap drive carrier until the latch clicks, then insert the carrier into the front bay until it locks; the step often missed is seating the carrier fully so the backplane connector engages and the LED lights.

What maintenance or replacement will the PERC H730P 2GB controller battery need later?

The PERC H730P 2GB controller includes a battery-backed cache; the battery typically requires replacement every three to five years to preserve write-cache protection during power loss.

What limit appears first under sustained use with the dual 1100-watt platinum power supplies?

The dual 1100-watt platinum supplies provide redundant hot-swap power; the first limit under sustained load is the combined 1100-watt output per supply, so total draw must stay within that budget.
