2U rack server with 26-bay SATA storage

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 is a 2U rackmount server built around dual Intel Xeon Gold 6230 processors running at 2.1 GHz with 20 cores each. It ships with 32 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across 16 slots and a Dell PERC HBA330 controller managing 26 installed 4 TB 7.2K SATA hard drives. Redundant 1100 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise remote management are included.

Suits high-capacity archive and backup workloads

This configuration targets environments that need dense 3.5-inch drive capacity in a 2U form factor, such as software-defined storage clusters, media archives or large backup repositories. The dual 20-core CPUs and 10/25 Gb SFP28 networking support parallel data streams. Buyers who require more than 32 GB of memory, GPU compute or a smaller rack footprint should evaluate alternative platforms.

26-bay 3.5-inch SATA drive capacity

The defining specification is the 26-bay front-loading chassis populated with 4 TB 7.2K SATA drives, delivering over 100 TB of raw storage in 2U. The HBA330 controller provides 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA connectivity without RAID overhead, making the platform a direct fit for object stores or scale-out file systems that manage redundancy in software.

Questions about this item

What rack space and power circuits must I have available before installing this 2U server?

The server occupies 2U of rack height and requires two 1100 Watt power supplies, so plan for redundant circuits that can deliver that load.

Can I keep using my existing SATA drives and SAS expanders with the HBA330 controller?

Yes, the PERC HBA330 supports both SATA and SAS at 12 Gb/s, so your current 3.5" SATA drives and SAS expanders will connect without adapters.

How do I verify the dual 10/25 GbE OCP card and iDRAC 9 Enterprise are active after first boot?

Check the iDRAC web interface for the Broadcom 57414 dual-port 10/25Gb SFP28 mezzanine card status and confirm the iDRAC 9 Enterprise license shows as active.
