2U Rack Server with 26 Drive Bays

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 is a 2U rackmount server built for high-capacity storage workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6230 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 20 cores. The system includes 512 GB of DDR4 ECC memory across 16 slots and 26 installed 8 TB SAS hard drives. A PERC H330 controller manages the storage array.

Check CPU Socket, Memory Slots and Drive Count

Verify that your rack provides 2U of vertical space and supports the server depth. The motherboard uses an LGA 3647 socket and accepts DDR4 RDIMMs up to a 1 TB maximum across 16 slots. The front chassis holds 26 3.5-inch SAS drives; ensure your cabling and backplane match this bay count. The OCP 2.0 mezzanine card occupies a dedicated slot.

Dual 1100 W Platinum Power Supplies

Redundant hot-swap 1100 W platinum-rated power supplies deliver efficient power conversion under load. The two Xeon Gold 6230 CPUs have a base frequency of 2.1 GHz and can boost to 3.9 GHz, generating significant heat that the internal fans manage. Fan speed ramps with inlet temperature and CPU utilisation to maintain thermal limits. Acoustic output is typical for a dense 2U storage server in a data centre environment.
