Storage-dense 2U rack server

The PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across eight modules. Twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays are populated with 1.2 TB 10K SAS hard drives, providing high-capacity storage in a compact form factor.

Sustained multi-threaded throughput

Dual 16-core CPUs and the Intel C620 chipset maintain consistent performance during extended virtualization or software-defined storage workloads. The PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, keeping disk arrays responsive under continuous mixed read-write pressure. Quad-port networking with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links sustains high-throughput east-west traffic without bottlenecks.

Redundant platinum power and remote management

Dual 1100 W platinum-efficiency hot-swap power supplies share the load and keep the system running if one unit fails. iDRAC 9 Enterprise provides out-of-band monitoring, firmware updates and virtual console access independent of the host operating system. Ready Rails and a front bezel are included for straightforward rack installation and a clean front-panel appearance.

Questions about this item

How much heat and power do the dual 1100 W Platinum supplies and two Xeon Gold 6130 CPUs generate under continuous load?

The server ships with redundant 1100 W Platinum-efficiency power supplies and two 16-core Xeon Gold 6130 processors rated at 2.1 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo; actual heat output and power draw depend on workload and ambient conditions.

Which cabling and SFP+ modules must I already have to use the X520/I350 daughter card's two 10 Gb SFP+ ports?

The Intel X520/I350 card provides two 10 Gb SFP+ ports; you need compatible SFP+ transceivers and fibre or direct-attach cables matching your switch.

Will my existing 12 Gb SAS drives work with the PERC H730P controller in this R740xd?

The PERC H730P supports 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA drives; any 12 Gb SAS disks you already own will be recognised and can be configured in RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 or pass-through.
