Capacity and compute

This Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 is a 2U rack server built for data-intensive workloads. It carries twenty-six 8TB 7.2K SATA hard drives and 128GB of DDR4-2933 ECC memory. Dual Xeon Platinum 8260 processors provide 24 cores each at 2.4GHz with 3.9GHz turbo. The PERC H330 controller manages the storage array.

Ideal for dense storage.

Organisations running software-defined storage, big data analytics, backup repositories or media archives will match the 26-bay density and dual 10/25Gb SFP28 networking. Buyers who want all-flash performance, GPU acceleration or more than two processors should look elsewhere. The installed drives are 3.5-inch SATA mechanical units.

Fits a 2U rack with redundant power

The chassis occupies 2U of rack space and includes two 1100W platinum power supplies with hot-swap redundancy. iDRAC 9 Enterprise enables remote management without a local console. Sixteen DIMM slots allow memory growth to 1TB. PCIe slots accept additional networking or storage controllers. Front bezel and rails are not included.

Questions about this item

Does the server come with the rack rails and front bezel I need to mount it in my cabinet?

The front bezel and ready rails are not included, so you must supply your own mounting hardware.

Can the installed PERC H330 controller manage the 26 SATA drives together with any older SAS drives I might add later?

The H330 supports both SAS and SATA on the same backplane, so existing SAS drives can be mixed with the 26 installed 7.2K SATA drives.

How do I confirm the dual Xeon 8260 CPUs and all 128 GB of DDR4-2933 memory are recognised after first boot?

Open the iDRAC 9 Enterprise interface or the BIOS POST screen; both will show two 24-core Platinum 8260 processors and 128 GB across the populated DIMM slots.
