High-density 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 is a 2U rack server built for data-intensive workloads that demand high storage density. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6150 processors, each running at 2.7 GHz with 18 cores and a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 512 GB of DDR4-2666 ECC registered memory across 16 DIMM slots, supporting up to 1 TB total. Twenty-six 8 TB 7.2K SATA 3.5-inch drives are installed behind a Dell PERC H330 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller.

Verify rack space and network needs

Confirm your rack can accommodate a 2U form factor and provide sufficient airflow for a high-drive-count chassis. The server includes an integrated dual-port 1 GbE LOM and a Broadcom 57414 dual-port 10/25 Gb SFP28 OCP 2.0 mezzanine card, so ensure your top-of-rack switches have compatible SFP28 ports and cabling. No front bezel or ready rails are supplied, so plan for mounting hardware separately. iDRAC 9 Enterprise is included for remote management; verify your management network is configured for its dedicated port.

Dual 1100 W platinum power supplies

Two hot-swap 1100 watt platinum-efficiency power supplies provide full redundancy for the dual-processor and 26-drive configuration. Under normal operation the system draws power across both units, sharing load to reduce thermal stress. Fan speeds scale with inlet temperature and drive activity; expect elevated but managed acoustic output typical of dense 2U storage servers. The platinum-rated units help minimise waste heat, lowering cooling requirements in the rack row.

Questions about this item

What drives and rails come in the box, and what must I source separately?

The server ships with 26 Dell Enterprise 8TB 7.2K SATA 3.5" drives installed; front bezel and ready rails are not included and must be purchased separately.

Should I choose the 512 GB DDR4-2666 configuration or plan for the 1 TB maximum?

The system arrives with 512 GB across 16 slots (16× 32 GB DDR4-2666 ECC RDIMMs); all 16 slots are populated, so reaching 1 TB requires replacing every module with 64 GB RDIMMs.

What does the 2.7 GHz base and 3.7 GHz turbo on the dual Gold 6150 CPUs mean for real workloads?

Two 18-core Gold 6150 processors deliver 36 cores at 2.7 GHz base with turbo up to 3.7 GHz, providing high multi-thread throughput for storage-heavy and virtualised workloads.
