2U rack server with dense 2.5-inch storage

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon Silver 4116 processors running at 2.1 GHz with 12 cores each. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache. Twenty-four 300 GB 10K SAS drives fill the front bays, and quad-port networking combines two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links. iDRAC9 Enterprise and redundant 1100 W platinum power supplies complete the package.

Storage-focused virtualization

This configuration suits environments that need high drive count in a compact chassis, such as software-defined storage clusters, virtual desktop infrastructure or service-provider platforms. The 24-bay layout and hardware RAID support simplify local data redundancy. Buyers who need solid-state performance or more than 24 drive slots should look elsewhere.

PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache and battery

The storage controller determines which RAID levels are available and whether the installed SAS drives can be fully utilised. This unit provides RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes backed by a battery-protected 2 GB cache. Confirm that the controller’s SAS interface and RAID feature set match your array design before purchase.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the 24 300GB SAS drives are recognised by the PERC H730P after power-on?

Open the iDRAC9 Enterprise web interface, navigate to Storage > Controllers > PERC H730P and confirm all 24 drives show Online with correct 300GB capacity.

What ships inside the 2U chassis and what must I source separately?

The unit includes 2 Xeon Silver 4116 CPUs, 768GB DDR4 in 24 slots, H730P controller, 24 300GB SAS drives, X520/I350 quad-port NIC, iDRAC9 Enterprise, 2 1100W PSUs, bezel and rails. No OS, hypervisor or SFP+ transceivers are supplied.

Which memory configuration matches the 768GB factory build?

The server arrives with 24 32GB DDR4 2400MHz Registered ECC modules filling every slot for 768GB total; this leaves no empty DIMM sockets for future expansion.
