PowerEdge R740xd2 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 is a 2U rackmount server system built for data-intensive workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8260 processors, each running at 2.4 GHz with 3.9 GHz turbo. Sixteen gigabytes of DDR4 ECC registered memory are installed across two modules. The platform supports up to 1 TB of total memory across sixteen slots.

Storage-focused deployments only

This server suits teams running software-defined storage, big-data analytics, backup repositories or media archives that need twenty-six 3.5-inch drive bays in a 2U footprint. It is not for buyers who want more storage bays than the chassis provides. It is not for builders who need a second storage controller beyond the single PERC H730P included. It is not for sites that require front bezel or ready rails, as neither is included.

Twenty-six 4 TB SAS drives installed

The chassis comes populated with twenty-six enterprise 4 TB 7.2K SAS hard drives connected to the Dell PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache. The controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes. This density decides whether the platform matches the capacity target for the intended workload.

Questions about this item

Does the server include rails so I can mount it in my rack?

Front bezel and ready rails are not included with this server.

Can the H730P controller handle the 26 installed SAS drives together with any SATA SSDs I might add later?

The H730P supports both SAS and SATA drives in the same enclosure.

How do I confirm the iDRAC 9 Enterprise remote management is active after powering on?

During POST the iDRAC IP address appears on the LCD panel and can be reached from a browser.
