High-Density 2U Rack Server

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740xd2 is a 2U rackmount server built for data-intensive workloads that demand exceptional storage density in a compact form factor. It targets organisations running software-defined storage, big data analytics, backup repositories or media archives where capacity and reliability are paramount.

Storage-Centric Architecture

Twenty-six 3.5-inch drive bays host 26 x 4 TB 7.2K SATA drives managed by a Dell PERC H730P 2 GB controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Two Intel Xeon Gold 6150 processors (18 cores each at 2.7 GHz, 3.7 GHz turbo) and 256 GB of DDR4-2666 ECC memory across 16 slots deliver compute headroom, while dual 10/25 Gb SFP28 and dual 1 GbE ports handle network connectivity.

Redundant Power and Remote Management

Dual 1100 W platinum-efficiency hot-swap power supplies provide N+N redundancy for continuous operation. Integrated iDRAC 9 Enterprise enables comprehensive out-of-band monitoring, firmware updates and remote console access without requiring a local KVM or display.

Questions about this item

What is the maximum number of processors the PowerEdge R740xd2 can accept?

The server supports up to 2 Xeon processors and both sockets are already populated with Gold 6150 CPUs

How much heat and noise should I expect from the dual 1100 watt power supplies under continuous load?

Two platinum-efficiency 1100 watt supplies run redundant and hot-swap, so sustained draw is shared and fan speed scales with total system thermals

Which network cables and transceivers must I already have to use the installed OCP 3.0 mezzanine card?

The Broadcom 57414 mezzanine provides two 10/25 Gb SFP28 ports, so compatible SFP28 modules and fibre or direct-attach cables are required
