Storage-dense 2U server

The PowerEdge R740xd fits twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays in a 2U rack footprint. Two Xeon Gold 6142 processors provide 16 cores each at 2.6 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo. 768 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory fills all 24 slots. The PERC H730P controller manages RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Two 400 GB SATA SSDs are installed.

Verify rack and network readiness

Confirm the rack can accept a 2U chassis with the included ready rails. Ensure 10 Gb SFP+ and 1 GbE switch ports are available for the X520/I350 quad-port daughter card. Check that the operating environment supports redundant 1100 W platinum power supplies. iDRAC 9 Enterprise requires a dedicated management network for remote access.

Expands storage without extra shelves

The 24-bay front panel lets you add SAS or SATA drives behind a single controller, freeing external JBODs and cabling. Dual processors and full memory population leave no CPU or DIMM slots for future upgrades. Redundant power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise simplify maintenance while the server stays in production.
