Dell PowerEdge R740xd 2U Storage Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for dense storage workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4116 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 12 cores. The system includes 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across four 16 GB modules. A PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache manages up to 24 hot-swap 2.5-inch drive bays.

Suits virtualisation hosts

This platform fits teams that need high drive counts and dual-socket compute in a compact chassis. Quad-port networking with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports is integrated. Buyers who require more than two processors or memory beyond 3 TB should evaluate larger platforms. Workloads needing GPU acceleration or specialised PCIe add-in cards may also need a different chassis.

Twenty-four 2.5-inch SAS/SATA drive bays decide

The front-loading backplane accepts SAS and SATA drives only, with no drives included. Maximum memory capacity reaches 3 TB across 24 DDR4 slots. Dual 1100 W platinum power supplies provide redundancy. iDRAC 9 Enterprise enables full remote management out of the box.

Questions about this item

How much power do the dual 1100 W supplies draw when the two Xeon Silver 4116 CPUs run at 2.1 GHz all day?

The server includes two 1100 Watt platinum-efficiency hot-swap power supplies; actual draw varies with workload, drive count and ambient temperature.

Which drive interfaces and controller are needed to populate the 24 front bays?

The 2.5-inch trays accept SAS or SATA drives and connect to the installed PERC H730P 2 GB controller, which supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60.

Can the on-board X520/I350 daughter card connect to older 1 GbE switches without extra adapters?

The daughter card provides two 1 GbE ports and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports for direct connection to existing network gear.
