26-bay 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 is a 2U rack server built for data-intensive workloads that demand high storage density. Two Intel Xeon Gold 6154 processors each deliver 18 cores at 3.0 GHz with a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. The system ships with 64 GB of DDR4-2666 ECC registered memory across 16 slots and a Dell PERC H330 controller managing 26 enterprise 8 TB 7.2K SATA drives.

Sustained throughput and thermal stability

The dual 1100 W platinum power supplies provide redundant hot-swap power for continuous operation under full drive and CPU load. The 2U chassis is engineered to maintain airflow across all 26 drive bays and both processors during prolonged backup, analytics or software-defined storage tasks. iDRAC 9 Enterprise enables remote monitoring of thermal and power metrics without interrupting the workload.

SATA 6 Gb/s and OCP 2.0 connectivity limits

Each of the 26 drives connects through the H330 controller over a SATA 6 Gb/s interface, capping individual drive throughput at that link speed. The Broadcom 57414 dual-port 10/25 Gb SFP28 mezzanine card uses an OCP 2.0 slot, restricting future networking upgrades to cards compatible with that form factor. PCIe expansion remains available for additional controllers, but the 2U height limits the number and length of add-in cards.

Questions about this item

How much power do the two 1100W supplies draw under full load?

The server ships with redundant hot-swap 1100W Platinum power supplies; actual draw depends on workload and drive activity.

Which rails or cables must I provide to install this 2U chassis?

Front bezel and ready rails are not included, so you will need compatible rack rails and power cords for the dual PSUs.

Can the H330 controller boot from the existing 8TB SATA drives if I keep them?

The PERC H330 supports SAS and SATA RAID, so the installed 7.2K SATA drives can be configured as a bootable array.
