Dell PowerEdge R740xd 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for storage-intensive workloads such as software-defined storage and virtual desktop infrastructure. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6148 processors, each offering 20 cores at 2.4 GHz with a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across eight 16 GB modules. This configuration suits organisations that need dense compute and local storage in a compact form factor.

Dual 1100 W platinum power supplies

Redundant 1100 watt platinum-efficiency power supplies provide hot-swap resilience for continuous operation. The 2U chassis uses front-to-back airflow to cool the dual 20-core CPUs, 24 DIMM slots and up to 24 2.5-inch drive bays. Under typical loads the power supplies share the draw evenly, keeping fan speeds moderate and acoustic output suitable for standard data-centre aisles.

PERC H730P controller.

The Dell PERC H730P 2 GB controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode, enabling flexible drive grouping for the installed 800 GB SATA SSDs and any additional drives. A Dell Intel X520/I350 daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports for storage and management traffic separation. iDRAC9 Enterprise delivers full remote console, power control and lifecycle automation without requiring a separate licence.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 24 front 2.5-inch drive bays and what step do people often miss?

Slide each drive into the hot-swap bay until the lever clicks; the step often missed is pressing the release button fully before pulling the lever so the carrier locks to the backplane.

What maintenance or replacement will the PERC H730P 2GB cache module need later?

The onboard 2 GB cache uses a lithium battery that typically lasts three to five years; replace the battery module when iDRAC reports a degraded or failed cache battery.

What limit appears first when both Xeon Gold 6148 CPUs run at 3.7 GHz turbo under sustained load?

The 1100 W platinum power supplies reach their thermal ceiling first, causing the fans to ramp to maximum speed before CPU throttling occurs.
