High-density 2U rack server with 26 bays

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 is a 2U rackmount server built for storage-heavy workloads. Dual Intel Xeon Gold 6230 processors deliver 40 cores at 2.1 GHz with 3.9 GHz turbo. Sixty-four gigabytes of DDR4 ECC memory and a PERC HBA330 controller support twenty-six installed 4 TB 7.2K SATA drives. Dual 1100 W platinum power supplies provide redundant hot-swap power.

Suited for backup archives

This platform suits organisations that need maximum 3.5-inch drive density in a 2U form factor for backup repositories, media archives or big-data analytics. The HBA330 controller operates in JBOD or pass-through mode without hardware RAID acceleration. Buyers who require hardware RAID, faster flash tiers or a lower drive count should evaluate other platforms.

Twenty-six 3.5-inch SATA bays define capacity

The single specification that decides fit is the twenty-six bay 3.5-inch SATA backplane populated with 4 TB enterprise drives. This density fixes raw capacity at roughly one hundred terabytes and determines power, cooling and rack-space requirements. No other drive form factor or interface is supported in the front bays.

Questions about this item

Will the 26 x 4 TB SATA drives work with my existing SAS backplane?

The 26 installed 4 TB 7.2K SATA drives connect through the HBA330 controller, which supports both SAS and SATA on the same backplane.

How can I verify the dual Xeon Gold 6230 CPUs and 64 GB DDR4-2666 memory are detected correctly?

Use iDRAC 9 Enterprise to view the system inventory; it will show both 20-core processors at 2.1 GHz and the four 16 GB DDR4 modules.

Does the shipment include the front bezel and ready rails shown in some product photos?

The front bezel and ready rails are not included; the box contains the 2U server with 26 drives, HBA330, dual 1100 W PSUs, 57414 10/25 Gb OCP card, and iDRAC 9 Enterprise.
