Dual-socket Xeon storage server

The PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon Gold 6142 processors, each running at 2.6 GHz with 16 cores. It targets organisations that need dense local storage and compute in a single chassis, such as software-defined storage clusters or virtual desktop infrastructure hosts.

24-bay SAS array with H730P RAID

Twenty-four 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives connect through a Dell PERC H730P 2 GB controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. The 2.5-inch bay population leaves no room for additional internal drives, so capacity expansion requires external enclosures or a different platform.

Quad-port networking and remote management

A Dell Intel X520/I350 daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports for flexible uplink options. iDRAC 9 Enterprise enables full out-of-band control, while redundant 1100 W platinum power supplies, ready rails and a front bezel complete the deployment-ready package.

Questions about this item

Will the 24 x 1.2 TB SAS drives work with my existing 12 Gb/s SAS backplane?

Yes, the drives are 12 Gb/s SAS and the PERC H730P controller supports 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA, so they will run at full speed on a compatible backplane.

How can I confirm the PERC H730P battery is healthy after installation?

Check the controller status in iDRAC9 Enterprise or during POST; a healthy battery shows “Optimal” or “Ready” and enables write-back caching for RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60.

Does the server ship with SFP+ modules for the X520 10 GbE ports?

The system includes the quad-port X520/I350 daughter card with two 10 Gb SFP+ cages, but SFP+ transceivers or DAC cables must be purchased separately.
