High-density 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 is a 2U rackmount server built for data-intensive workloads that demand maximum storage capacity in a compact form factor. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6230 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with a 3.9 GHz turbo frequency and 20 cores. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4-2666 ECC registered memory across eight 16 GB modules, leaving eight of the 16 total slots free for expansion up to 1 TB.

Front-access storage and dual 10/25 Gb networking

Twenty-six 3.5-inch drive bays populate the front panel, each holding a 4 TB 7.2K SATA enterprise hard drive managed by a Dell PERC H330 controller with 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA connectivity. Two hot-swap 1100 W platinum power supplies provide redundancy without shutting down the server. Networking consists of an integrated dual-port 1 GbE LOM plus a Broadcom 57414 dual-port 10/25 Gb SFP28 OCP 2.0 mezzanine card for high-speed uplinks, while iDRAC 9 Enterprise enables full remote management.

Verify rack depth, rail kit and HBA cabling

The chassis requires a four-post rack with sufficient depth for a 2U server plus cable clearance at the rear for power and SFP28 connections. Front bezel and ready rails are not included, so a compatible rail kit must be sourced separately. Confirm that the PERC H330 mini card fits your backplane cabling plan and that the 26 installed SATA drives meet the capacity and performance profile of the intended workload.

Questions about this item

What storage throughput does the 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA H330 controller cap in practice?

The PERC H330 Mini controller runs at 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA and manages the 26 installed 4 TB 7.2K SATA drives.

What rack depth and rail clearance does this 2U chassis with 26 front 3.5" bays need?

The 2U rackmount server requires a standard four-post rack; front bezel and Ready Rails are not included.

How are the two Xeon Gold 6230 CPUs seated, and which step do installers often miss?

Both LGA 3647 sockets are populated with 20-core Gold 6230 processors; ensure all 16 DDR4 slots are filled in matched pairs per CPU.
