Storage-Dense 2U Platform

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for workloads that demand high drive density. Dual Xeon Silver 4116 processors provide 24 cores at 2.1 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo, while 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory supports virtualisation and database tasks.

Hot-Swap Bays and Redundant Power

Twenty-four 2.5-inch SAS bays enable front-access drive swaps without downtime. The PERC H730P controller manages RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across the installed 1.2 TB 10 K drives. Dual 1100 W platinum supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise keep the system running and remotely manageable.

Upgrade From Smaller Chassis

This server replaces 1U or tower systems that have exhausted drive slots or memory capacity. The jump is justified when a workload needs 24 hot-swap bays, dual 10 Gb SFP+ ports and room to grow memory toward the 3 TB maximum.
