Dense storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack system built around two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors, each with 16 cores at 2.1 GHz. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 ECC memory across 24 slots and a PERC H730P controller driving 24 hot-swap 2.5-inch SAS or SATA bays. Redundant 1100 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise management complete the package.

Software-defined storage and virtualisation teams

This configuration suits organisations that need high drive density and dual-socket compute in a compact chassis for scale-out storage, VDI or hyper-converged workloads. Buyers who require fewer drive bays, single-socket economics or GPU-accelerated compute should evaluate other chassis.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS/SATA backplane

The defining specification is the front-loaded 24-bay 2.5-inch backplane that accepts SAS and SATA drives behind a single PERC H730P controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. If the deployment needs a different drive count, form factor or controller feature set, this server will not match the requirement.

Questions about this item

What is the maximum DDR4 capacity the R740xd can reach with its 24 memory slots?

The platform supports up to 3TB of DDR4 across the 24 installed slots.

How much heat must the 1100W redundant PSUs dissipate when both CPUs run at the 3.7GHz turbo frequency all day?

Dual 1100W platinum supplies share the load, keeping each unit at lower utilisation and reducing fan speed under sustained 3.7GHz operation.

Which drive trays and controller are required to populate the 24 front bays?

The server includes 24 Dell 2.5" SAS/SATA trays and a PERC H730P 2GB controller; add compatible SAS or SATA drives to use the bays.
