Dell PowerEdge R740xd 24-bay server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server populated with two Intel Xeon Gold 6226 processors running at 2.7GHz and 128GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It targets organisations that need dense local storage capacity and strong multi-threaded compute for databases, virtualisation or software-defined storage clusters. The chassis supports up to 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch drive bays.

Verify rack space power and networking

Confirm that your rack provides 2U of vertical space and can accommodate the 36-inch depth of the chassis. Ensure the facility can supply adequate power for dual 1100W power supplies and that your network infrastructure supports the installed dual-port 10GbE 562T adapter. The PERC H730P RAID controller manages SATA drives; plan your storage layout and drive purchases accordingly.

Dual 1100W supplies cool 24-bay load

Dual redundant 1100W power supplies share the load across the fully populated 24-drive chassis and both CPUs. System fans adjust speed based on inlet temperature and component utilisation, so acoustic output rises with heavier workloads. iDRAC9 Enterprise provides remote thermal monitoring and power capping to help keep the server within operational limits.

Questions about this item

Does the R740xd 24SFF server ship with any drives or a rail kit, or must I purchase them separately?

The chassis includes 24 2.5-inch bays and a PERC H730P RAID controller. No drives are installed and the rail kit is available on request.

How do I choose between the 12-core Xeon Gold 6226 at 2.7GHz and a different CPU for this R740xd?

This unit already has two Xeon Gold 6226 processors installed and the socket limit is two, so no other CPU can be added without removing the existing pair.

What does the 128GB DDR4 ECC memory mean for actual workloads on this R740xd?

You get 128GB of registered DDR4 ECC RAM running in a 24-bay 2U chassis with dual 1100W supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise for remote management.
