Dense storage compute node

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for workloads that demand high drive density alongside dual-socket processing. Two Intel Xeon Silver 4110 processors run at 2.1 GHz with 8 cores each, supported by 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots.

Suited for storage-heavy virtualisation

This configuration fits software-defined storage clusters, backup targets and virtual desktop infrastructure where capacity and throughput matter more than single-thread speed. Buyers who need all-flash latency or GPU-accelerated compute should evaluate alternative platforms.

Ready-to-rack foundation

The chassis includes 24 hot-swap 2.5-inch bays populated with 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives, a PERC H730P controller with battery-backed cache, quad-port 1 GbE and 10 GbE SFP+ networking, iDRAC9 Enterprise and redundant 1100 W platinum power supplies. Rails and bezel ship installed, leaving only application software and rack power to complete the deployment.

Questions about this item

Will my existing DDR4-2400 registered ECC DIMMs fit the 24 slots on this R740xd?

Yes — the server has 24 DDR4 slots and ships with 8× 16 GB modules at 2400 MHz, so identical registered ECC sticks will populate the remaining slots.

Can the PERC H730P controller manage my older 12 Gb/s SAS drives alongside the 24× 2.4 TB drives already installed?

The H730P supports 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA with RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60, so legacy 12 Gb/s SAS disks can be added to the same backplane and configured in any supported RAID level.

How do I confirm the iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management is active after the server powers on?

During POST the iDRAC9 Enterprise IP address appears on the front LCD; log in to that address with a browser to verify the dashboard shows both CPUs, 128 GB memory and all 24 drives online.
