Storage-dense 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 is a 2U rackmount server built for data-intensive workloads that demand high storage density. Two Intel Xeon Gold 6254 processors deliver 36 total cores at 3.1 GHz with a 4.0 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 64 GB of DDR4-2933 ECC registered memory across 16 slots and a PERC H330 storage controller.

Upgrade from limited-bay platforms

This server replaces 2U systems that top out at 12 or 16 drive bays when capacity needs exceed those limits. The jump is worth it when workloads require 26 front-accessible 3.5-inch trays in a single rack unit. Dual 1100 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise management are included for redundancy and remote administration.

Capacity headroom for large arrays

The chassis accommodates 26 hot-swap 3.5-inch drives, supporting large-capacity SAS and SATA media for backup repositories, media archives and software-defined storage clusters. Memory scales to 1 TB across 16 DIMM slots. Network connectivity provides dual 1 GbE LOM ports plus a dual-port 10/25 Gb SFP28 OCP 2.0 mezzanine card for high-throughput links.
