Dell PowerEdge R740xd virtualisation server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for business workloads such as file storage, virtualisation, databases and application hosting. It ships with dual Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors running at 2.10 GHz for a total of 32 cores and 128 GB of DDR4 PC4-2666V memory across eight populated slots. An H730P Mini RAID controller with 2 GB cache and sliding rails are included for a rack-ready configuration.

Installation and common issues

The server arrives assembled with twelve 3.5-inch drive bays, ten caddies and two 3.5-to-2.5-inch converter caddies so drives can be fitted without extra parts. Dual 1100 W platinum power supplies connect via standard IEC cords and the sliding four-post rails mount in most square-hole racks. The H730P controller must be configured for the desired RAID level before the operating system is installed; missing this step is the most frequent cause of delays.

Pre-order checks

Confirm the rack provides 2U of vertical space and sufficient depth for the sliding rails and rear cable clearance. Verify the facility can supply two IEC C13 connections on separate circuits for the redundant power supplies. Ensure the network infrastructure has SFP+ transceivers and cabling for the dual-port 10 GbE links plus RJ-45 patch leads for the dual-port 1 GbE management ports. No operating system is included, so installation media and licences must be prepared in advance.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the dual Xeon Gold 6130 2.10GHz 32-core CPUs and 128GB DDR4 are detected after power-on?

During POST the front LCD will show both CPUs and the 128GB total across the 24 DIMM slots; iDRAC9 Express or Enterprise then reports the same inventory in its System > Hardware view.

Which rails, caddies, power cords and bezel ship with the R740xd, and what must I source separately?

The box includes sliding 4-post rails, 10x 3.5" caddies, 2x 3.5"-to-2.5" converter caddies, 2x 1100W platinum PSUs with power cords, and a lockable front bezel; drives, OS licences and SFP+ transceivers are not included.

Should I choose the 12-bay 3.5" chassis or a 2.5" bay variant for this Gold 6130 configuration?

This unit is the 12-bay 3.5" model; it ships with ten 3.5" caddies plus two converter caddies so you can also install 2.5" drives without buying a different chassis.
