High-density 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 is a 2U rackmount server built for storage-intensive workloads. It houses two Intel Xeon Gold 6150 processors, each with 18 cores running at 2.7GHz and a 3.7GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 16GB of DDR4 memory and a PERC H330 storage controller managing 26 installed 3.5-inch 8TB SATA drives. Dual 1100W platinum power supplies provide redundancy.

Suited for archive and backup.

This configuration targets organisations that need maximum raw capacity in a compact rack footprint, such as backup repositories, media archives or software-defined storage clusters. The 16GB installed memory and dual-socket limit mean buyers who need large in-memory datasets or heavy virtualisation density should look elsewhere. The H330 controller supports RAID but lacks a cache module for write-intensive database workloads.

26-bay 3.5-inch front-loading chassis

The defining specification is the 26-drive bay count in a 2U form factor, all populated with 7.2K RPM SATA drives. This density determines whether the server fits the intended storage topology and rack space budget. The LGA 3647 socket and 16 DDR4 slots allow future processor or memory upgrades within the two-socket maximum.

Questions about this item

How loud or hot does the R740xd2 get when the dual 1100W PSUs and 26 drives run continuously?

Two 1100W platinum-efficiency supplies share the load and redundant hot-swap power keeps cooling steady; 26 SATA drives and dual Xeon Gold 6150 CPUs produce typical 2U rack heat and fan noise for a dense storage server.

What network cabling and SFP28 modules must I already own to use the 57414 10/25Gb mezzanine card?

The OCP 2.0 mezzanine provides two SFP28 ports for 10 GbE or 25 GbE links; you need compatible SFP28 transceivers and matching fibre or direct-attach cables for the speed you choose.

Will my existing 12 Gb/s SAS backplane or HBA work with the PERC H330 and these 7.2K SATA drives?

The H330 is a 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller; it connects to the 3.5" drive backplane and runs the installed 7.2K SATA drives at 6 Gb/s, so older 12 Gb/s SAS infrastructure remains compatible.
