Storage-dense 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 packs twenty-six 3.5-inch drive bays into a 2U chassis, giving storage-heavy teams a single platform for software-defined storage, backup targets or media archives. Dual Xeon Platinum 8160 processors supply forty-eight cores at 2.1 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo headroom for parallel workloads.

Capacity and headroom

Eight pre-installed 16 GB DDR4-2666 ECC RDIMMs deliver 128 GB across sixteen slots, leaving room to grow toward the 1 TB maximum. The PERC HBA330 controller presents twelve-gigabit SAS and SATA connectivity to all twenty-six trays without RAID overhead, so capacity scales drive-by-drive.

Thermals and power

Redundant 1100 W platinum-efficiency supplies share the load, keeping the system running through a single-unit failure. Enterprise-grade airflow design moves heat from the dense drive bay and dual-socket layout through the 2U form factor under sustained data-intensive operation.

Questions about this item

Will the 12Gb/s SAS HBA330 controller recognise the 3.5" SAS drives I already own?

The Dell PERC HBA330 Mini is a 12Gb/s SAS/SATA controller, so it will communicate with existing 3.5" SAS and SATA drives at up to 12Gb/s.

How can I verify both Xeon Platinum 8160 processors are active after installation?

Check iDRAC 9 Enterprise or the BIOS POST screen; both should report two CPUs, each showing 24 cores at 2.1GHz with 3.7GHz turbo.

Which rails and bezel must I purchase separately for rack mounting?

The front bezel and Ready Rails are not included; order the Dell Ready Rails kit and matching 2U bezel for the R740xd2 chassis.
