Built for storage density in 2U

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server that fits twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays, dual Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors and 64GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory. It ships with a PERC H730P controller, two 400GB SATA SSDs and redundant 1100W platinum power supplies.

Suits storage-dense workloads, not GPU-heavy builds

This configuration targets software-defined storage, virtual desktop infrastructure and service-provider deployments that need high drive density in 2U. Buyers who require GPU acceleration or more than two processor sockets should look at a different platform.

Twenty-four 2.5-inch bays decide fit

The chassis provides twenty-four hot-swap 2.5-inch bays served by a 12Gb/s SAS/SATA PERC H730P with 2GB cache and battery-backed write cache. If the application needs fewer bays or a different controller, another model will be more suitable.

Questions about this item

Will the 1100 watt platinum power supplies handle sustained load without tripping?

Dual 1100 watt platinum supplies share the load and provide full redundancy for continuous operation.

How loud are the fans when both Xeon Gold 6134 CPUs run at 3.7GHz turbo all day?

The 2U chassis uses temperature-controlled fans that ramp up under heavy CPU utilisation.

Do I need to buy SFP+ modules and fibre patch cables to use the 10Gb ports on the X520/I350 card?

The daughter card provides two 10Gb SFP+ ports that require compatible transceiver modules and cabling.
