Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 is a 2U rack server built for data-intensive workloads that demand high capacity in a compact footprint. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6254 processors, each running at 3.1 GHz with 18 cores, and 512 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across 16 slots.

Verify rack depth and network fabric

Confirm your rack can accommodate a 2U chassis and that the front-loading 3.5 inch drive bays align with your cabling plan. The system includes a PERC H330 controller for the 26 SATA drives and a dual-port 10/25 Gb SFP28 OCP 2.0 mezzanine card, so ensure your top-of-rack switches support the required SFP28 connectivity.

Steady throughput under continuous load

Dual 1100 W platinum power supplies and redundant hot-swap cooling keep the platform stable during sustained backup or analytics jobs. The 7.2K SATA drives deliver consistent sequential bandwidth, while iDRAC 9 Enterprise provides ongoing thermal and power telemetry without interrupting the workload.

Questions about this item

What drives and rails ship with the R740xd2 and what must I add?

The server includes 26 Dell Enterprise 4TB 7.2K SATA 3.5-inch hard drives and a PERC H330 controller. Front bezel and Ready Rails are not included and must be purchased separately.

Should I choose the 512GB DDR4-2933 configuration or plan for the 1TB maximum?

The system arrives with 512GB across 16 slots using 32GB DDR4-2933 ECC RDIMMs. All 16 slots are populated, so reaching 1TB requires replacing every module with 64GB RDIMMs.

What does the 3.1GHz base and 4.0GHz turbo on the dual Xeon Gold 6254 mean for throughput?

Two 18-core Gold 6254 CPUs deliver 36 cores at 3.1GHz base with 4.0GHz turbo, providing high single-thread speed and parallel capacity for storage-heavy workloads.
