Dell PowerEdge R740xd 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for storage-dense workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores. The system includes 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots. Twenty-four 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives provide high-capacity internal storage.

Storage-focused teams and virtualisation hosts

This configuration suits organisations deploying software-defined storage, virtual desktop infrastructure or dense virtualisation clusters. The 24-bay chassis and PERC H730P controller support RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Buyers who need flash-only arrays or GPU-accelerated compute should evaluate alternative platforms. The quad-port network card offers two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS drive capacity

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis populated with 1.2 TB SAS hard drives. This density determines whether the server fits a storage-heavy deployment or a compute-heavy one. The H730P controller manages the array with 2 GB cache and battery backup. iDRAC 9 Enterprise provides full remote management. Dual 1100 W platinum power supplies deliver redundant power.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.1GHz Xeon Gold 6130 CPUs and DDR4 2666MHz memory work with my existing LGA 3647 socket motherboard?

The server uses two LGA 3647 sockets populated with Xeon Gold 6130 processors and 24 DDR4 2666MHz registered ECC modules. Compatibility depends on your motherboard supporting these specific CPUs and memory speed.

How can I verify the PERC H730P controller sees all 24 SAS drives and the 2GB cache battery is healthy?

During POST the H730P BIOS lists each 1.2TB 10K SAS drive and reports battery status. iDRAC9 Enterprise also shows controller health, drive state and cache battery condition remotely.

Does the shipment include SFP+ modules for the X520 10Gb ports and cable management arms for the rails?

The box contains the 2U chassis with bezel, ready rails, two 1100W PSUs, 24 installed 1.2TB SAS drives, X520/I350 quad-port card and iDRAC9 Enterprise licence. SFP+ modules and cable arms are not included.
