Built for Storage-Dense Workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 is a 2U rack server designed for data-intensive environments that need maximum drive capacity in minimal rack space. It suits IT teams running software-defined storage, backup repositories, or large media archives where drive count matters more than raw compute density.

Controller and Connectivity Included

A Dell PERC H330 storage controller manages up to 26 front-accessible 3.5-inch drive trays for SAS and SATA media. Networking ships with a dual-port 1GbE LOM plus a Broadcom 57414 dual-port 10/25Gb SFP28 OCP 2.0 mezzanine card, while iDRAC 9 Enterprise provides full remote management. Dual 1100W platinum power supplies deliver redundant hot-swap power.

Verify Rack Depth and Drive Plans

Confirm your rack can accommodate a 2U chassis with front-loading 3.5-inch trays and that you have SFP28 cabling for the 25Gb uplinks. The server arrives without drives, front bezel, or ready rails, so budget for compatible SAS or SATA media and mounting hardware. Memory uses DDR4-2666 ECC RDIMMs across 16 slots; maximum capacity is 1TB if future expansion is required.

Questions about this item

How many DDR4 memory slots are free for future upgrades?

The server has 16 DDR4 slots and all are populated with 32 GB modules, so no slots remain open for additional memory.

Which component limits storage throughput when all 26 bays are active?

The PERC H330 controller provides 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity, which becomes the bottleneck before the drive interfaces saturate.

What power draw should I expect from the two 1100 W supplies under continuous load?

Each supply is platinum rated at 1100 W, so the redundant pair can deliver up to 1100 W total while sharing the load evenly.
