2U rack server with dual Xeon Gold 6130

The DELL PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack-mount server system designed for software-defined storage, service-provider workloads and virtual desktop infrastructure. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores and a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. The platform supports up to two processors in LGA 3647 sockets on an Intel C620 chipset.

64 GB DDR4 ECC memory and 24-bay 2.5" storage

Installed memory is 64 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC across four 16 GB modules, with 24 DIMM slots allowing expansion to 3 TB. The Dell PERC H730P 2 GB controller manages 24 installed 400 GB SATA SSDs in a 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA backplane, supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through. Storage headroom ends when all 24 drive bays are populated.

Dual 1100 W platinum power supplies

Redundant hot-swap 1100 watt platinum-efficiency power supplies provide the single specification that decides deployment suitability: if the rack cannot deliver redundant 1100 W feeds, the server will not meet its power design. The unit includes iDRAC 9 Enterprise remote management, an Intel X520/I350 quad-port network daughter card with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links, plus ready rails and front bezel.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.5-inch 400GB SATA SSDs fit into my existing 2.5-inch drive bays?

Yes, the 24 installed 400GB SSDs use the standard 2.5-inch SATA form factor, so they are physically compatible with any 2.5-inch hot-swap bay.

How can I verify the PERC H730P controller sees all 24 drives after installation?

Open the controller BIOS during boot or check iDRAC9 Enterprise storage view; both will list every detected 400GB SSD and its RAID state.

Does the shipment include the 1100W power supplies and the rail kit shown in the photos?

Two redundant 1100W Platinum power supplies and the Ready Rails kit are included; the front bezel is also supplied.
