Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for capacity-hungry workloads. Two Intel Xeon Silver 4116 processors provide 24 cores at 2.1 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo. Sixty-four gigabytes of DDR4 registered ECC memory and a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache drive the storage subsystem. Twenty-four front-accessible 2.5-inch bays come populated with 300 GB 10K SAS drives.

Suits storage-centric deployments

This platform fits software-defined storage clusters, backup targets and virtual desktop infrastructure where drive count and redundancy matter. Quad-port networking with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links plus iDRAC9 Enterprise simplifies fabric integration. Builders who need more than 24 hot-swap bays, GPU acceleration or a different drive interface should evaluate other chassis options.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS capacity

The defining specification is the twenty-four 300 GB 10K SAS drives behind a hardware RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. That combination fixes both the raw capacity ceiling and the I/O profile for the workloads this server targets.

Questions about this item

What rack depth and rail kit does the R740xd 2U server require?

The server is a 2U rack-mount unit and ships with Dell Ready Rails for standard four-post racks.

How are the 24 front 2.5" drives and the PERC H730P controller installed?

Drives slide into the hot-swap front bays; the H730P controller occupies a dedicated internal slot and includes a 2 GB battery-backed cache.

What memory upgrades does the system support later?

There are 24 DDR4 slots total, four are populated with 16 GB modules, and the platform supports up to 3 TB of registered ECC DDR4.
