Dense 2U storage server

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740xd2 is a 2U rack server built for data-intensive workloads that demand high storage density. Dual Intel Xeon Gold 6150 processors deliver 36 cores at 2.7 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo for parallel compute tasks. 128 GB of DDR4-2666 ECC memory supports reliable operation across 16 DIMM slots. The platform is engineered for software-defined storage, backup repositories and large-scale archives.

Suited for capacity-first deployments

This server fits organisations that need 26 front-accessible 3.5-inch bays populated with 8 TB 7.2K SATA drives behind a single PERC H730P controller. Buyers who require more than two processors, faster drive interfaces or GPU-ready expansion should evaluate alternative platforms. Redundant 1100 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise management simplify continuous operation in dense racks.

26-bay 3.5-inch SATA limit

The chassis provides exactly 26 hot-swap 3.5-inch SATA bays served by one H730P RAID controller with 2 GB cache. That bay count and controller combination defines the maximum raw capacity and RAID topology available without adding external enclosures.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.7 GHz Xeon Gold 6150 CPUs work with my existing DDR4-2666 ECC registered DIMMs?

Yes — the server runs DDR4-2666 ECC registered memory and has 16 DIMM slots supporting up to 1 TB, so your current modules are compatible.

How can I verify the PERC H730P controller sees all 26 drives after installation?

Open the controller BIOS or iDRAC 9 Enterprise storage view; it will list all 26 x 8 TB 7.2K SATA drives and show the RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 arrays you configured.

Does the shipment include front bezel and ready rails, or must I order them separately?

Front bezel and ready rails are not included; you need to purchase them separately. The box contains the 2U chassis, 2 x 1100 W PSUs, CPUs, memory, drives, H730P controller, dual 1 GbE LOM, dual 10/25 Gb SFP28 OCP 2.0 mezzanine card, and iDRAC 9 Enterprise licence.
