Dense 2U storage server

This Dell PowerEdge R740xd packs twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays into a 2U rack chassis. Dual Xeon Gold 6148 processors provide forty cores at 2.4 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo. The system ships with 512 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across sixteen modules. A PERC H730P controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 for flexible array design.

Suits high-capacity arrays

Teams building software-defined storage clusters or virtual desktop infrastructure will use the twenty-four hot-swap trays and dual 1100 W platinum supplies. Buyers who need fewer bays or a lower core count can choose a smaller configuration. Environments that require GPU acceleration or fibre-channel connectivity must add those cards separately. The included X520/I350 daughter card delivers two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports.

H730P RAID controller decides fit

The Perc H730P with 2 GB cache manages every drive through a single 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA interface. Its battery-backed cache enables write-back mode for RAID 5, 6, 50 and 60 without data-loss risk. Systems that demand a different RAID feature set or a non-RAID HBA will need another controller card. iDRAC 9 Enterprise provides full remote management out of the box.

Questions about this item

Will the 2× Xeon Gold 6148 20-core CPUs hit thermal limits during sustained all-core workloads?

The chassis uses redundant 1100-watt platinum power supplies and is designed for continuous operation in a 2U rack form factor with integrated cooling for the installed processors.

How loud are the fans and how much heat does the server produce when running 24/7?

Dual 1100-watt platinum supplies and a 2U airflow design manage heat from the 2× 20-core CPUs and 512 GB DDR4 memory during round-the-clock operation.

What drives and cabling must I already have to populate the 24 front bays?

The 24 bays accept 2.5-inch SATA or SAS drives; the PERC H730P controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through, so you only need compatible drives and standard backplane cables.
