High-density 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 is a 2U rack server built for data-intensive workloads that demand maximum storage density in a compact footprint. It ships with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8260 processors, each delivering 24 cores at a base frequency of 2.4 GHz with 3.9 GHz turbo capability. The system includes 64 GB of DDR4-2933 ECC registered memory across four modules. A Dell PERC H330 storage controller manages twenty-six 3.5-inch 4 TB 7.2K SATA hard drives installed in the front bays.

Suited for archive and backup workloads

This configuration targets organisations running software-defined storage, big data analytics, media archives or large-scale backup repositories where raw capacity and sequential throughput are the priority. The dual 1100 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise remote management support continuous operation in lights-out environments. Buyers who need faster random I/O, all-flash performance, or a higher core count per socket should evaluate alternative platforms.

Twenty-six 3.5-inch drive bays

The defining specification is the twenty-six hot-swap 3.5-inch drive bays populated with 4 TB SATA drives, delivering over one hundred terabytes of raw capacity in a single 2U chassis. The PERC H330 controller provides 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA connectivity to the backplane. Network connectivity includes a dual-port 1 GbE LOM and a Broadcom 57414 dual-port 10/25 Gb SFP28 OCP 2.0 mezzanine card. Front bezel and ready rails are not included.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 26 3.5" SATA drives into the front bays, and which step is often missed?

Slide each 3.5" drive into the 26 front bays until the carrier latch clicks, then verify the H330 controller detects all 26 drives in the BIOS before configuring RAID.

Which components will need replacement first during long-term operation?

The 26 7.2K SATA hard drives and the two 1100W hot-swap power supplies are the primary field-replaceable units that typically require replacement over the server's lifespan.

What thermal or power limit appears first when both Xeon Platinum 8260 CPUs run at 3.9GHz Turbo under sustained load?

The dual 1100W platinum power supplies set the power ceiling; sustained 3.9GHz Turbo on both 24-core processors can trigger throttling if total draw approaches the 1100W per supply limit.
