High-density 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 is a 2U rack server built for data-intensive workloads that demand high storage density. It supports up to 26 3.5-inch drive trays for SAS, SATA or SSD media. Dual Intel Xeon Gold 6154 processors provide 36 cores at 3.0 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo. The system ships with 16 GB of DDR4-2666 ECC registered memory across 16 slots.

Dual 1100 W platinum power supplies

Redundant hot-swap 1100 W platinum-efficiency power supplies deliver reliable power for fully populated drive bays and dual processors. The 2U chassis uses integrated cooling to manage thermals across high-density storage and compute components. Power redundancy helps maintain uptime during module replacement or failure.

PERC H330 controller and 25 Gb networking

The Dell PERC H330 mini controller provides 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity for the 26 drive bays. A Broadcom 57414 dual-port 10/25 Gb SFP28 OCP 2.0 mezzanine card adds high-speed network flexibility. iDRAC 9 Enterprise enables remote monitoring and administration. Front bezel and ready rails are not included.

Questions about this item

How are the 26x 3.5" drive trays installed in the 2U chassis and what step is often missed?

The trays slide into the front bays and lock with a lever; the step often missed is fully engaging the latch until it clicks, otherwise the drive is not seated on the backplane.

What maintenance will the PERC H330 controller and dual 1100W power supplies need later?

The H330 may require a firmware update and its battery-backed cache module replaced after several years; each 1100W supply is hot-swap and can be replaced individually without downtime.

What thermal or power limit appears first when both Xeon Gold 6154 CPUs run at 3.7GHz turbo under sustained load?

The 1100W platinum power supplies set the ceiling; sustained 3.7GHz turbo on both 18-core processors can exceed the combined power budget before the 2U cooling reaches its limit.
