PowerEdge R740xd 12-bay 2U server

The PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for storage-dense workloads. Two Intel Xeon Silver 4110 processors each run eight cores at 2.1 GHz with a 3.0 GHz turbo. Sixty-four gigabytes of DDR4 ECC memory fill four of the 24 available slots. Twelve 3.5-inch drive trays accept SATA or SAS drives for large-capacity arrays.

Installation with rails and iDRAC 9

Ready Rails and a front bezel are included for standard rack mounting. The server uses redundant hot-swap 750 watt platinum power supplies that can be replaced without downtime. The PERC H730P controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. iDRAC 9 Enterprise provides full remote management from deployment through firmware updates. Memory population rules for the 24 DIMM slots must be followed to avoid POST errors.

Sustained load with dual CPUs and redundant power

Dual Xeon processors and the C620 chipset maintain performance during extended compute or storage tasks. Redundant power supplies share the load and keep the system running if one unit fails. The quad-port network daughter card delivers two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links for continuous data movement. The 2U chassis airflow is designed for steady thermal equilibrium under full processor and drive utilisation.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the PERC H730P controller and iDRAC9 Enterprise are working after setup?

During POST the H730P BIOS will report its 2 GB cache and battery status, and iDRAC9 Enterprise will display its IP address on the front LCD; log into the iDRAC web interface to verify remote console, virtual media and hardware inventory.

What ships in the box and which drives must be purchased separately?

The chassis includes 12 x 3.5" SAS/SATA drive trays, two 750 W platinum PSUs, ready rails and front bezel; no hard drives or SSDs are installed so you must add 3.5" SAS or SATA drives.

Which memory configuration matches the installed 64 GB DDR4?

The system arrives with 4 x 16 GB DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC modules occupying four of the 24 slots, leaving 20 slots free for expansion up to 3 TB.
