Dense storage server for virtualisation

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack system built around two Intel Xeon Gold 6142 processors, each running at 2.6 GHz with 16 cores. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and a PERC H730P controller managing twelve 4 TB 7.2 K SATA drives. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management complete the package.

Suits workloads that demand high capacity

This configuration targets software-defined storage clusters, virtual desktop infrastructure and service-provider environments where drive density and redundant power matter. Buyers who require solid-state speed, GPU compute or a non-rack form factor should evaluate different platforms.

Twelve 3.5‑inch SATA bays driven by a hardware

The chassis provides twelve hot-swap 3.5‑inch bays connected to the PERC H730P with 2 GB cache, supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes. This bay count and controller combination determines whether the system can meet your storage topology and redundancy requirements.

Questions about this item

What rack depth and rail type does the R740xd 2U server need for installation?

The server is a 2U rack-mount chassis and the listing includes Dell Ready Rails, which are sliding rails designed for standard 4-post racks with square or threaded holes.

Can the PERC H730P controller use the existing 12x 4TB 7.2K SATA drives in a RAID 10 array?

Yes, the H730P 2GB controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, so the twelve 4TB SATA drives can be configured as a single RAID 10 volume.

How do I confirm the iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management is active after powering on?

Connect the dedicated iDRAC network port, then browse to the IP address shown on the front LCD or DHCP lease; the login screen confirms the Enterprise licence is active.
