Storage density and compute power

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 is a 2U rack server built for data-intensive workloads that demand high storage capacity in a compact form factor. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6150 processors, each running at 2.7 GHz with a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency and 18 cores, plus 64 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. A Dell PERC H330 controller manages up to 26 front-accessible 3.5-inch drive bays, while dual 1100 W hot-swap power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise provide redundant power and remote management.

Suited for dense storage clusters.

Organisations running software-defined storage, backup repositories or large media archives will benefit from the 26-bay chassis and dual 10/25 GbE SFP28 networking. The platform supports a maximum of two processors and 1 TB of DDR4 across 16 slots, so buyers planning future CPU upgrades have headroom within the same socket. Teams needing a smaller rack profile, fewer drive bays or a different drive form factor should evaluate alternative platforms.

Drive-bay count defines the fit

The single specification that determines whether this server matches a deployment is the 26 x 3.5-inch hot-swap tray capacity. If the storage design requires exactly that many large-form-factor bays in 2U, the R740xd2 aligns; if the bay count or form factor differs, the chassis will not accommodate the plan.

Questions about this item

What 3.5-inch drive trays must already be populated for the 26-bay chassis to function?

The server ships with 26 Dell EMC 14G PowerEdge 3.5-inch drive trays installed; you must supply your own SAS or SATA drives to fill them.

Will the PERC H330 controller recognise older SAS or SATA drives I keep from a previous array?

The H330 supports 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA interfaces, so legacy SAS or SATA drives that conform to those standards will be detected.

How can I confirm the dual Xeon Gold 6150 processors are running at 2.7 GHz base and 3.7 GHz turbo after setup?

Check the iDRAC 9 Enterprise System > Inventory > CPU page or enter the BIOS/UEFI; both report each processor's base 2.7 GHz and turbo 3.7 GHz frequencies.
