Purpose-built storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server designed for storage-heavy workloads such as software-defined storage or virtual desktop infrastructure. Two Xeon Silver 4116 processors provide 24 cores at 2.1 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo. Sixty-four gigabytes of DDR4 ECC memory and twenty-four 2.4 TB SAS drives give high capacity in a dense chassis.

Check your rack and network

Verify that your rack accepts 2U rail-mounted servers and that you have 12 Gb/s SAS cabling for the PERC H730P controller. The quad-port daughter card supplies two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links, so confirm compatible switch ports and transceivers. Ensure the facility can deliver redundant power to two 1100 W platinum supplies.

Enterprise build with hot-swap access

Redundant hot-swap power supplies and hot-swap drive bays allow component replacement without downtime. The included ready rails and front bezel simplify rack installation and physical security. iDRAC 9 Enterprise provides remote management for firmware updates, monitoring and virtual console access over the network.
