Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 2U Rack Server

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 Gold 6254 processors, each running at 3.1 GHz with an 18-core design and 4.0 GHz turbo capability. The system includes 16 GB of DDR4-2933 ECC registered memory across two modules and a Dell PERC HBA330 controller driving 26 installed 4 TB 7.2K SAS drives.

Suited for storage-heavy deployments.

This server targets environments such as software-defined storage, big data analytics, backup repositories and media archives where raw capacity and drive count matter most. The 26-bay 3.5-inch chassis and dual 10/25 GbE SFP28 mezzanine card support high-throughput data movement. Buyers who need maximum CPU core counts per socket, larger memory footprints out of the box, or GPU-accelerated compute should evaluate alternative platforms.

Verify rack space, power

Confirm your rack can accommodate a 2U unit with front-access drive bays and that your PDUs can supply two 1100 W platinum-efficiency power supplies with redundant hot-swap capability. The integrated dual-port 1 GbE LOM and OCP 2.0 mezzanine card use SFP28 optics for 10/25 GbE connectivity, so ensure compatible transceivers and cabling are available. The front bezel and ready rails are not included, so plan for mounting hardware separately.

Questions about this item

Which rack size and power feed do I need for a 2U server with dual 1100W supplies?

The chassis occupies 2U of rack space and requires two independent power circuits for the redundant 1100W platinum units.

Will my existing 12Gb/s SAS backplane work with the HBA330 controller installed?

The PERC HBA330 is a 12Gb/s SAS/SATA controller, so it matches a 12Gb/s backplane and the 26 installed 7.2K SAS drives.

How do I confirm the 2x Xeon Gold 6254 CPUs and 16GB DDR4-2933 are recognised after first boot?

Open iDRAC 9 Enterprise or the BIOS and verify two 18-core 3.1GHz processors and 16GB of DDR4-2933 ECC memory are reported.
