High-Density 2U Storage Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 is a 2U rack server built for data-intensive workloads that demand maximum drive count in a compact form factor. It ships with dual Intel Xeon Gold 6150 18-core processors running at 2.7GHz with 3.7GHz turbo, 512GB of DDR4 ECC memory across 16 slots, and a Dell PERC H730P controller with 2GB cache. Twenty-six 3.5-inch 4TB 7.2K SATA drives come pre-installed, providing extensive raw capacity for archives, backups and software-defined storage clusters.

Suited for Capacity-First Deployments

This platform targets organisations that prioritise sheer storage volume over flash latency, such as media repositories, compliance archives or Hadoop-style analytics clusters. The dual 1100W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise licence support lights-out management in dense racks. Buyers who need all-flash speed, GPU acceleration or a 1U footprint should evaluate other platforms.

26-Bay 3.5-Inch Drive Chassis

The defining specification is the 26-bay 3.5-inch front-loading chassis that holds the installed 4TB SATA drives and the PERC H730P RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. This bay count and drive format determine whether the server fits the required capacity envelope and rack-space budget.

Questions about this item

Do I need to supply my own SFP28 cables and transceivers to use the 10/25Gb network ports on the Broadcom 57414 mezzanine card?

Yes, the Broadcom 57414 dual-port 10/25Gb SFP28 OCP 2.0 mezzanine card requires compatible SFP28 transceivers and fibre or DAC cables, which are not included with the server.

Can the existing 26 SATA drive bays accept SAS drives if I want to mix drive types later?

Yes, the Dell PERC H730P controller supports both SATA and SAS drives, so the 26 front 3.5" bays can accommodate SAS drives alongside the installed SATA drives.

How can I verify the iDRAC 9 Enterprise remote management is active after the server boots?

Connect the dedicated iDRAC network port, then browse to its IP address; the iDRAC 9 Enterprise login page confirms the management controller is operating.
