26-Bay 2U Storage Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 is a 2U rack server built for storage-dense deployments. It holds 26 front-accessible 3.5-inch drive trays behind a dual-processor platform. The system targets software-defined storage clusters, backup repositories and media archives that need maximum capacity per rack unit. Buyers who need fewer drive bays or tower-form-factor installation should consider other platforms.

Dual 18-Core Xeon Gold 6254 Sustained Compute

Two Intel Xeon Gold 6254 processors run at a 3.1GHz base frequency with a 4.0GHz turbo ceiling, providing 36 physical cores for continuous workloads. The LGA 3647 socket pair supports sustained multi-threaded throughput for analytics, deduplication and erasure-coding tasks. Memory bandwidth comes from 32GB of DDR4-2933 ECC registered DIMMs across 16 slots expandable to 1TB. Applications that rely on single-thread burst speed above 4.0GHz or GPU acceleration will not benefit from this configuration.

Redundant 1100W Platinum Power

Dual 1100-watt platinum-efficiency supplies deliver N+1 redundancy for the fully populated chassis. The PERC H330 controller manages SAS and SATA drives at 12Gb/s through the 26-bay backplane. Network connectivity includes dual 1GbE LOM ports and a dual-port 10/25Gb SFP28 OCP 2.0 mezzanine card. iDRAC 9 Enterprise provides out-of-band remote monitoring and lifecycle control. Environments without rack mounting rails or front bezel provisions must source those accessories separately.

Questions about this item

How loud or hot does the server get with both 1100W power supplies running continuously?

The system uses two 1100 Watt Platinum efficiency power supplies in a redundant hot-swap configuration.

Which drives and cables must I supply to populate the 26 front bays?

The server includes 26 Dell EMC 14G 3.5-inch drive trays; you provide SAS or SATA drives and the H330 controller handles the connections.

Will my existing DDR4-2933 ECC registered DIMMs work in the 16 memory slots?

Yes, the board accepts DDR4-2933 ECC registered modules and supports up to 1 TB across 16 slots.
