High-density 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 is a 2U rack server built for data-intensive workloads that demand maximum storage density. It ships with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 24 cores, and 512 GB of DDR4-2666 ECC registered memory across 16 slots. The system includes a PERC H730P 2 GB storage controller and 26 front-access 3.5-inch drive trays for SAS or SATA drives. Dual 1100 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise provide redundancy and remote management.

Storage-focused deployments

This server suits organisations deploying software-defined storage, big data analytics, backup repositories or media archives that need high capacity in a compact rack footprint. The 26-bay chassis and dual 10/25 GbE SFP28 OCP mezzanine card support high-throughput data movement. Buyers who require GPU acceleration, workstation-class graphics or a smaller tower form factor should evaluate alternative platforms.

26-bay 3.5-inch drive capacity

The defining specification is the 26 hot-swap 3.5-inch drive bays combined with the PERC H730P controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. This density determines whether the chassis can hold the raw capacity your dataset requires before you commit to the 2U rack space and power budget.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.1 GHz Xeon Platinum 8160 CPUs and H730P controller work with my existing 3.5" SAS drives?

Yes, the H730P 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through for your 3.5" SAS drives in the 26 front bays.

How can I confirm the dual 10/25 Gb SFP28 OCP 2.0 mezzanine card is active after installation?

Check the iDRAC 9 Enterprise network inventory and the server POST screen; both list the Broadcom 57414 dual-port 10/25 Gb SFP28 adapter when it is seated and linked.

Which rails and bezel must I order separately for the 2U R740xd2?

The front bezel and Ready Rails sliding rail kit are not included; order the Dell 2U Ready Rails kit and matching bezel for your rack depth.
