Dell PowerEdge R740xd 2U rack server

This 2U rack server uses two Intel Xeon Silver 4110 processors at 2.1 GHz with eight cores each. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across four 16 GB modules. The system provides twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays populated with 800 GB SATA SSDs and a PERC H730P 2 GB storage controller. Redundant 1100 W platinum power supplies, iDRAC9 Enterprise and a quad-port 1GbE/10Gb SFP+ network card are included.

Ideal for storage-focused workloads

The dense 24-bay layout suits software-defined storage, virtual desktop infrastructure or service-provider environments that prioritise capacity in a 2U form factor. It is less suited for buyers who need more than twenty-four drive bays or a different drive interface than SATA/SAS. Workloads requiring more than two processors cannot be accommodated because the platform supports a maximum of two sockets.

PERC H730P RAID controller with 2 GB cache

The installed Dell PERC H730P handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. Its 2 GB battery-backed cache protects writes during power loss. This controller determines which RAID levels and drive counts are available for the twenty-four installed SSDs.

Questions about this item

How many 2.5-inch drive bays does the R740xd provide for storage expansion?

The chassis has 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch bays, all populated with 800 GB SATA SSDs in this configuration.

What is the typical power draw of the two 1100 W platinum supplies when the server runs continuously?

Each supply is rated at 1100 W platinum efficiency; actual draw depends on workload but the redundant pair shares the load for lower per-unit stress.

Which memory type and speed must I already have to add more RAM to this system?

The server uses DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC modules; the board has 24 slots and supports up to 3 TB total.
