Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 fits twenty-six 3.5-inch drives into a 2U rackmount chassis for workloads that prioritise capacity over raw compute density. Dual Xeon Platinum 8160 processors provide forty-eight cores at 2.1 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo for parallel throughput. Sixty-four gigabytes of DDR4-2666 ECC memory across sixteen slots supports data-integrity requirements. The PERC HBA330 controller presents the drives to the host without RAID abstraction.

Platinum redundant power and thermal design

Two hot-swap 1100 W platinum-efficiency power supplies deliver full redundancy for continuous operation. The 2U form factor channels airflow across the dense drive bay layout and dual-socket processor tray under typical data-centre inlet temperatures. Redundant cooling modules maintain component thermals during sustained 7.2 K rpm SAS drive activity. Power draw scales with the twenty-six installed drives and dual 24-core CPUs under load.

iDRAC 9 Enterprise and OCP networking included

Integrated iDRAC 9 Enterprise enables out-of-band lifecycle management, remote console and firmware orchestration without an operating system. A Broadcom 57414 dual-port 10/25 Gb SFP28 OCP 2.0 mezzanine card adds high-speed fabric connectivity for distributed storage clusters. The onboard dual-port 1 GbE LOM handles management traffic separately. Front bezel and ready rails are not included in the shipment.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 26x 3.5" SAS drives and the HBA330 controller in the 2U chassis?

The server ships with 26 enterprise 4TB 7.2K SAS drives pre-installed in the front bays and the PERC HBA330 controller already seated in its dedicated mini slot, so no drive or controller installation is required.

What maintenance will the 2x 1100W platinum power supplies and the 64GB DDR4-2666 ECC memory need?

Both power supplies are hot-swap redundant; a failed unit can be replaced without shutdown. The 4x 16GB DDR4-2666 ECC RDIMMs are also serviceable — remove the top cover to access the 16 DIMM slots for future upgrades or replacement.

What thermal or power limit appears first when both Xeon Platinum 8160 CPUs run at 3.7GHz turbo under sustained load?

The dual 1100W platinum supplies set the power ceiling; sustained all-core turbo on both 24-core processors can exceed the combined budget, so the platform will throttle before thermal limits are reached.
