DELL PowerEdge R740xd 2U rack server 2x Xeon Silver 4110 2.1GHz 8C 128GB DDR4 24-bay 2.5" H730P

Dual Xeon Silver 4110 storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for storage-dense workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4110 processors running at 2.1 GHz with eight cores each. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 16 GB modules. Twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays provide high capacity in a compact form factor.

Redundant 1100 W platinum power supplies

Dual hot-swap 1100 watt platinum-rated power supplies deliver redundant power for continuous operation. The Intel C620 chipset manages platform I/O while the PERC H730P controller handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with a 2 GB cache. Quad-port networking combines two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections on a single daughter card. iDRAC 9 Enterprise enables remote management without a dedicated console.

24-bay 2.5-inch chassis for dense storage

The 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch trays accept SATA or SAS drives but no drives are included. Maximum memory capacity reaches 3 TB across 24 DIMM slots for future expansion. Two processor sockets are both populated, leaving no room for additional CPUs. Buyers who need 3.5-inch drive support or pre-installed storage should consider a different chassis.
