DELL PowerEdge R740xd 2U rack server 2x Xeon Gold 6134 3.2GHz 8-core 512GB DDR4 24-bay 2.5" H730P

2U dual-socket server for dense storage

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors running at 3.2 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo. Each CPU provides eight cores for a total of sixteen cores and 512 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across sixteen modules. The system targets software-defined storage, service-provider workloads and virtual desktop infrastructure where high drive density matters.

Redundant 1100 W platinum power supplies

Dual hot-swap 1100 watt platinum-efficiency units deliver redundant power with headroom for twenty-four 2.5 inch SAS or SATA drive trays and the PERC H730P 2 GB controller. The Intel X520/I350 daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports while iDRAC 9 Enterprise handles remote management. Rails and front bezel ship with the chassis.

Sustained throughput for storage workloads

Under continuous load the dual Xeon Gold 6134 CPUs maintain 3.2 GHz base frequency across all sixteen cores while the H730P controller manages RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 or pass-through without battery-backed cache limits. The 24-bay layout keeps storage bandwidth local to the controller, avoiding the PCIe congestion that smaller chassis create during long rebuilds or streaming writes.
