Dell PowerEdge R740xd 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for storage density and compute performance. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4110 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with eight cores. The system includes 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 16 modules and a PERC H730P storage controller with battery backup. Twenty-four 400 GB SATA SSDs fill every drive bay for high-capacity flash storage.

Suited for software-defined storage

This configuration suits organisations deploying software-defined storage, virtual desktop infrastructure or dense virtualisation clusters where internal flash capacity is critical. The dual-socket design and 24-bay chassis provide the CPU threads and drive slots those workloads demand. Buyers who need fewer drive bays, a single-socket platform or lower memory capacity should look at other platforms.

24 x 400 GB SATA SSDs in a 24-bay 2U chassis

The defining specification is the fully populated 2.5-inch drive cage: twenty-four 400 GB SATA SSDs backed by a 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA PERC H730P controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. This density determines whether the server fits a workload that requires maximum internal flash capacity in a 2U form factor.

Questions about this item

What storage interface does the PERC H730P controller use and what throughput does it provide?

The Dell PERC H730P is a 12Gb/s SAS and SATA controller with 2GB cache, supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through for the 24 installed 400GB SATA SSDs.

What physical mounting hardware is included for rack installation?

The server ships with Dell Ready Rails and a front bezel for tool-less mounting in a standard 2U rack space.

How is the iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management accessed during initial setup?

Connect a network cable to the dedicated iDRAC port, then use the default IP address shown on the front LCD panel to reach the web interface and configure credentials.
