Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 26-bay 3.5" server

This 2U rackmount system is built for capacity-intensive deployments. It holds 26 hot-plug 3.5-inch drive trays behind the front panel. Dual Xeon Gold 6230 processors deliver 20 cores per socket at a 2.1GHz base frequency with 3.9GHz turbo. 128GB of DDR4-2666 ECC registered memory is installed across eight DIMM slots.

Fits dense storage clusters and archive tiers

Buyers who need a high drive count in a 2U form factor will match this chassis. The PERC HBA330 controller provides 12Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity for the 26 bays. Network I/O includes dual 1GbE LOM plus a Broadcom 57414 dual-port 10/25Gb SFP28 OCP 2.0 mezzanine card. iDRAC 9 Enterprise enables full remote management. Shops that require integrated RAID levels or a smaller bay count should evaluate other platforms.

26 3.5-inch drive trays decide the fit

The 26-bay backplane is the defining constraint for storage density. Two 1100-watt platinum power supplies feed the fully populated chassis. Front bezel and ready rails are not included in the shipment.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the 2x Xeon Gold 6230 20 Core processors and 128GB DDR4-2666 memory are detected after installation?

Open the iDRAC 9 Enterprise web interface or connect a monitor and keyboard to enter the system BIOS; both will display the dual 2.1GHz CPUs with 3.9GHz turbo and the 8x 16GB DDR4 modules running at 2666 MT/s.

Which items ship with the server and which must be sourced separately?

The chassis includes 2x 1100W Platinum PSUs, HBA330 controller, 26x 3.5" drive trays, dual-port 1GbE LOM, 57414 dual-port 10/25Gb SFP28 OCP card, iDRAC 9 Enterprise, and front bezel; ready rails are not included and must be purchased separately.

Which configuration suits a workload needing maximum 3.5" drive density in 2U?

The single 26-bay 3.5" layout is the only version offered here; it provides the highest 3.5" capacity in a 2U form factor with dual Xeon Gold 6230 CPUs and 128GB DDR4.
