High-density 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 is a 2U rackmount server built for data-intensive workloads that demand high storage capacity in a compact footprint. It ships with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors, 16GB of DDR4 memory, a PERC H330 storage controller and twenty-six 8TB SATA hard drives installed.

Suited for storage-heavy deployments.

This configuration targets software-defined storage, backup repositories, big data analytics and media archives where raw capacity and drive density matter most. Buyers who need maximum CPU core counts, larger memory footprints or all-flash performance should evaluate alternative platforms.

Twenty-six 3.5-inch drive bays define the storage

The chassis provides exactly twenty-six hot-swap 3.5-inch bays, all populated with 7.2K SATA drives in this build. That bay count is the hard ceiling for internal spindle storage; expanding beyond it requires external enclosures or a different server model.

Questions about this item

Does the server include the rack rails and front bezel so I can mount it in my 2U cabinet?

The supplier title states that the front bezel and ready rails are not included, so you will need to provide your own mounting hardware for the 2U rack space.

Can the PERC H330 controller manage the 26 installed 8TB SATA drives together with any older SAS drives I might add later?

The H330 is a 12Gb/s SAS/SATA controller, so it can handle both the 26 installed 7.2K SATA drives and additional SAS drives in the same enclosure.

How do I verify the iDRAC 9 Enterprise remote management is active after the server is powered on?

Connect the dedicated management port, log in to the iDRAC web interface, and confirm the firmware version and system inventory are displayed correctly.
