2U Rack Server With 24 Drive Bays

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server designed for storage-intensive workloads. It fits data centres that need high capacity in a compact form factor. The chassis supports twenty-four 2.5-inch drives and includes ready rails with a front bezel.

Suited For Software-Defined Storage

This configuration suits organisations deploying software-defined storage or virtual desktop infrastructure. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or a different drive-count should look at other platforms. The dual-processor layout and large memory capacity address heavy multi-threaded tasks.

Dual Xeon Gold 6130 Processors At 2.1 GHz

Two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 CPUs provide thirty-two cores at a base speed of 2.1 GHz with a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. This processor choice determines the compute ceiling for the system. The LGA 3647 socket and Intel C620 chipset define the platform limits.

Questions about this item

What rack height and mounting hardware does the R740xd require?

The server is a 2U rack-mount unit and ships with Ready Rails for installation in a standard rack.

How are the Xeon Gold 6130 processors and DDR4 memory installed, and what step is often missed?

The two LGA 3647 processors are pre-installed; the 128GB DDR4 2666MHz registered ECC modules populate 8 of the 24 slots and must be seated until the ejector clips click.

Which components in the R740xd are hot-swappable and will need replacement over time?

The 24 SAS hard drives, the two 1100W power supplies and the PERC H730P controller battery are all hot-swappable and designed for field replacement.
