Dense 2U Storage Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd packs two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors running at 2.1 GHz with 24 cores each into a 2U rack chassis. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots. This configuration targets organisations that need high core counts and large memory capacity alongside massive internal drive density for software-defined storage or virtual desktop infrastructure workloads.

Front-Access Drive Density

Twenty-four 2.5-inch bays hold 300 GB 10K SAS drives served by a PERC H730P 2 GB controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes. A quad-port network daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections. Hot-swap redundant 1100 W platinum power supplies, iDRAC9 Enterprise, ready rails and a front bezel are included for streamlined deployment and remote management.

Redundant Power and Cooling

Dual 1100 W platinum-efficiency power supplies share the load and maintain uptime if one unit fails. The 2U form factor uses front-to-rear airflow tuned for dense drive populations and dual high-core-count CPUs. Under typical mixed workloads the system balances thermal headroom with acoustic output suitable for standard rack rows, while the hot-swap design allows component replacement without powering down.

Questions about this item

What RAID levels does the PERC H730P 2GB controller support on this R740xd?

The PERC H730P 2GB controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode for the installed SAS drives.

What physical space and rails does this 2U server require for rack mounting?

The server occupies 2U of rack height and ships with Dell Ready Rails for mounting in standard four-post racks.

How do I initially configure the iDRAC 9 Enterprise remote management on this server?

Connect a management cable to the dedicated iDRAC port, set a static IP via the LCD panel or DHCP, then access the web interface to complete setup.
