2U Rack Server for Dense Storage

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 is a 2U rack server built for data-intensive workloads that demand high storage density. It ships with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency and 24 cores. The system includes 16 GB of DDR4 memory and a Dell PERC H330 storage controller managing 26 installed 4 TB 7.2K SATA hard drives.

Verify Rack Space and Network Needs

Confirm your rack can accommodate a 2U chassis and that power distribution supports two 1100 W hot-swap power supplies. The server provides an integrated dual-port 1 GbE LOM plus a Broadcom 57414 dual-port 10/25 Gb SFP28 OCP 2.0 mezzanine card for high-speed connectivity. Ensure your switch infrastructure matches the SFP28 interface and that cabling reaches the rear I/O.

iDRAC 9 Enterprise and Ready Rails Excluded

The bundled iDRAC 9 Enterprise licence enables full remote management, virtual console and lifecycle automation without extra cost. Front bezel and Ready Rails sliding rail kit are not included, so plan for separate mounting hardware if required. The H330 controller handles the 26 drive bays, leaving 14 free memory slots for future DDR4 expansion up to the platform maximum.
