Storage-dense 2U server for data-intensive workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 is a 2U rackmount server built for environments that demand high storage capacity in a compact footprint. It integrates twenty-six 3.5-inch drive trays with dual Intel Xeon Gold 6230 processors and 512GB of DDR4 ECC memory. This configuration targets software-defined storage, backup repositories and large-scale analytics platforms.

Sustained throughput with dual 20-core Xeon

Two Intel Xeon Gold 6230 CPUs provide forty cores running at a 2.1GHz base frequency and a 3.9GHz turbo ceiling. The PERC H730P controller manages RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across SAS and SATA drives with a 2GB cache backed by battery. Sixteen DDR4-2666 registered DIMMs deliver 512GB of error-correcting memory for consistent data integrity under continuous load.

Redundant 1100W platinum power supplies

Dual hot-swap 1100 watt platinum-efficiency power supplies maintain operation during a single-unit failure. iDRAC 9 Enterprise enables out-of-band monitoring, firmware updates and console redirection over the network. A dual-port 1GbE LOM and a Broadcom 57414 dual-port 10/25Gb SFP28 OCP 2.0 mezzanine card handle management and high-speed data traffic respectively.

Questions about this item

How loud are the fans when the R740xd2 runs continuously with dual Xeon Gold 6230 CPUs and 512GB DDR4?

The 2U chassis uses redundant hot-swap cooling. Fan speed scales with CPU load, memory population and drive count. With 26 drive trays and 16 DIMMs installed, expect higher baseline airflow than a lightly populated unit.

What drives and cabling do I need to populate the 26 front 3.5-inch bays served by the PERC H730P?

The server ships with 26 Dell 3.5-inch drive trays. The H730P controller supports 12Gb/s SAS and SATA drives in RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 or pass-through. You supply the drives and any SAS cables required for your backplane configuration.

Can the OCP 2.0 mezzanine slot accept a 10GbE or 25GbE card to work alongside my existing 1GbE switches?

The installed Broadcom 57414 dual-port 10/25Gb SFP28 OCP 2.0 mezzanine card provides two SFP28 ports. It negotiates 10GbE or 25GbE links and coexists with the onboard dual-port 1GbE LOM for mixed-speed networks.
