Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 packs twenty-six 3.5-inch drive bays into a 2U rack frame. Dual Xeon Gold 6150 processors deliver 18 cores each at 2.7 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo. 256 GB of DDR4-2666 ECC registered memory is installed across eight 32 GB modules. A PERC HBA330 controller manages the SATA drive array.

Verify rack depth and power infrastructure

Confirm the cabinet can accept a 2U chassis and provides sufficient airflow for high-density storage. Ensure dual 1100 W platinum power supplies match available PDU circuits and voltage. Check that the HBA330 controller firmware is compatible with existing management tools. Validate network uplinks for the dual-port 1 GbE LOM and 10/25 GbE OCP mezzanine card.

Frees PCIe slots for specialised adapters

The OCP 2.0 mezzanine handles high-speed networking without consuming a full-height slot. Internal drive bays use direct backplane connections, leaving PCIe lanes open for GPU, additional storage controllers or fabric adapters. iDRAC 9 Enterprise provides dedicated out-of-band management over a separate interface. Sixteen DIMM slots support future expansion to 1 TB total memory.

Questions about this item

What drives and controller are already installed, and what else must I supply?

The server ships with twenty-six 8 TB 7.2K SATA 3.5-inch drives and a PERC HBA330 controller; no further storage hardware is required unless you add more drives.

Should I choose the dual 18-core Xeon Gold 6150 or a different CPU option?

Only the dual 18-core Xeon Gold 6150 at 2.7 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo is installed; the board supports a maximum of two processors and both sockets are already populated.

What does 256 GB DDR4-2666 ECC mean for actual workloads?

Eight 32 GB DDR4-2666 ECC registered DIMMs fill half the sixteen slots, giving 256 GB of error-correcting memory with room to expand to 1 TB for larger data sets.
