Storage-Dense 2U Platform

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server fitted with twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays. Two Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors run at 3.2 GHz with eight cores each, supported by 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 16 GB modules. A PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache manages the twenty-four 300 GB 10K SAS drives in multiple RAID modes. Dual 1100 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise complete the configuration.

Ideal For Capacity-First Workloads

This server suits organisations that need maximum hot-swap drive count in a 2U chassis for software-defined storage, virtual desktop infrastructure or service-provider environments. The quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections for flexible fabric integration. Buyers who require fewer drive bays, a smaller rack footprint or a different storage interface should evaluate alternative platforms.

Twenty-Four 300 GB SAS Drives Decide Fit

The single specification that determines suitability is the complement of twenty-four 300 GB 10K SAS spindles behind a 12 Gb/s H730P controller. If the workload demands that many hot-swap SAS spindles in 2U, this server matches; if the requirement is for fewer drives or a different form factor, the platform will not align.

Questions about this item

What rack cabinet do the included Ready Rails fit?

The Ready Rails are designed for a standard 2U opening in a square-hole or threaded cabinet.

Can the 24 drive bays accept SATA drives alongside the installed SAS drives?

The PERC H730P controller supports both SAS and SATA, so SATA drives can be used in the remaining bays.

How do I confirm the two 1100 W power supplies are operating in redundant mode?

iDRAC9 Enterprise will show both PSUs as healthy and the system will remain on if one supply is removed.
