Dense 2U Storage Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rackmount server built for storage-heavy workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 24 cores, and 64 GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots. A PERC H730P RAID controller manages up to 24 hot-swap 2.5-inch SAS bays, currently populated with two 300 GB 10K drives. Dual 1100 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise provide redundancy and remote management out of the box.

Suited For Virtualisation

This configuration fits virtual desktop infrastructure, software-defined storage clusters and service-provider hosts that need high drive density in 2U. The quad-port network daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links for flexible fabric connectivity. Buyers who require more than 64 GB of memory, additional processors beyond the two installed, or a different drive interface should evaluate other platforms.

24-Bay 2.5-Inch SAS Chassis Decides Fit

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch SAS backplane paired with the H730P controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. This layout determines how many drives you can install and which RAID levels are available. If your design needs a different bay count, drive form factor or controller feature set, this server will not match the requirement.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.5" drive bays accept my existing 2.5" SAS drives alongside the installed 300GB units?

The chassis provides 24 front 2.5" bays; the two factory 300GB 10K SAS drives occupy only two slots, leaving the remaining bays free for additional 2.5" SAS or SATA drives.

How do I confirm the PERC H730P controller and both Xeon Platinum 8160 CPUs are recognised after first boot?

Open the iDRAC9 Enterprise web interface or enter the BIOS; both CPUs will show as 24-core 2.1GHz processors and the H730P will appear with its 2GB cache and battery status.

Which accessories ship with the server and what must I source separately?

The box includes the 2U server, two 1100W redundant power supplies, ready rails and front bezel; operating system licences, additional memory modules and extra drives are not included.
