PowerEdge R740xd 2U 24-bay server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for storage-dense workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4110 processors running at 2.1 GHz, 128 GB of DDR4 ECC memory and twenty-four 300 GB 10K SAS drives. Dual 1100 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise management come standard.

Ideal for software-defined storage

This configuration suits organisations that need high drive-count capacity in a compact 2U form factor. The PERC H730P controller supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 for flexible data protection. Buyers who require solid-state media, more than two processor sockets or a different network interface should evaluate other platforms.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS drive chassis

The single specification that determines fit is the 24-bay 2.5-inch SAS chassis paired with the H730P controller. It dictates the maximum number of spinning drives you can install and the RAID options available. Verify that your workload matches this drive-count and interface before purchasing.

Questions about this item

What network card do I need to use the 10Gb SFP+ ports on the Intel X520/I350 daughter card?

The X520/I350 daughter card is already installed and provides two 10Gb SFP+ ports. You only need compatible SFP+ transceivers or direct-attach cables for the link type you are using.

Will my existing SAS drives work with the PERC H730P controller in this server?

The PERC H730P supports 12Gb/s SAS and SATA drives. Your existing SAS drives will work if they are 12Gb/s or 6Gb/s compliant.

How can I confirm the iDRAC9 Enterprise licence is active after first boot?

Open the iDRAC web interface or run `racadm getractive` from the host OS. The licence status will show Enterprise when the entitlement is applied.
