Purpose-built storage density

The PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server designed for software-defined storage, service-provider workloads and virtual desktop infrastructure. Dual Xeon Silver 4110 processors each run eight cores at 2.1 GHz with a 3.0 GHz turbo frequency. The system ships with 768 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across all 24 slots.

Verify power, networking and rack space

Confirm the facility can supply redundant 1100 W platinum-rated power circuits for the hot-swap supplies. The Intel X520/I350 daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports, so matching switch optics or copper must be available. The 2U form factor requires compatible rails and front-to-rear airflow clearance in the cabinet.

Sustained throughput under full drive population

With 24 enterprise SATA SSDs of 400 GB each behind the PERC H730P 2 GB controller, the array maintains consistent RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60 performance during extended rebuilds or heavy write streams. The battery-backed cache and 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA links keep latency stable when all bays are active. iDRAC 9 Enterprise enables remote thermal and power monitoring throughout long-duration jobs.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box with the R740xd and what must I add myself?

The server ships with 2 Xeon Silver 4110 CPUs, 768 GB DDR4 in 24 slots, 24 x 400 GB SATA SSDs, H730P 2 GB controller, X520/I350 quad-port network card, iDRAC9 Enterprise, 2 x 1100 W PSUs, rails and bezel; no extra drives or memory are included.

Should I choose the 24-bay 2.5" model or a different bay count?

This unit is the 24-bay 2.5" configuration; it fills all front bays with 400 GB SSDs and uses the H730P controller, so select it when you need maximum drive density in 2U.

What does the 768 GB DDR4 figure mean for actual workloads?

768 GB across 24 slots at 2400 MHz registered ECC lets you run large virtualisation clusters or in-memory databases without swapping, and the board supports up to 3 TB if you later add modules.
