High-density 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 is a 2U rackmount server built for data-intensive workloads that demand maximum storage density in a compact footprint. It ships with dual Intel Xeon Gold 6150 processors, each running at 2.7 GHz with 18 cores and a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4-2666 ECC registered memory across eight modules and a Dell PERC H330 storage controller. Twenty-six front-access 3.5-inch drive trays provide the platform’s defining capacity for SAS and SATA drives.

Suited for storage-heavy deployments

This server targets organisations running software-defined storage, big-data analytics, backup repositories or media archives where raw drive count matters more than installed flash or compute acceleration. The dual 1100 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise remote management support continuous operation in dense racks. Buyers who need drives pre-installed, more than two processor sockets, or a different drive form factor should evaluate other platforms.

26-bay 3.5-inch tray count

The single specification that determines fit is the 26 front 3.5-inch drive trays, which set the maximum number of large-form-factor SAS or SATA drives the chassis can hold. If the workload requires fewer bays, a smaller chassis may save rack space; if it requires more, this model cannot expand further.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and what must I add to make the server operational?

The chassis includes two Xeon Gold 6150 processors, 128 GB DDR4-2666 ECC RDIMMs, a PERC H330 controller, 26 drive trays, dual 1100 W PSUs and iDRAC 9 Enterprise. Drives and operating system are not included.

Which memory capacity should I choose if I want to expand later?

128 GB is installed across 8 of 16 DDR4 slots, so you can add up to 8 more DDR4-2666 ECC RDIMMs to reach the 1 TB maximum.

What does the 2.7 GHz base clock mean for real workloads?

Each of the 36 total cores runs at 2.7 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo, giving strong multi-threaded throughput for databases, virtualisation and software-defined storage.
