Dense Storage Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 is a 2U rack server built for data-intensive workloads that demand high storage density. Two Intel Xeon Gold 6150 processors deliver 36 cores at 2.7 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo, while 32 GB of DDR4 ECC memory provides a reliable foundation. The chassis holds 26 front-accessible 3.5-inch drive trays served by a PERC HBA330 SAS/SATA controller, and dual 1100 W platinum power supplies add redundancy.

Suited For Bulk Data Workloads

This platform fits backup repositories, software-defined storage clusters and media archives that need maximum 3.5-inch capacity in a 2U footprint. Buyers who require installed drives, a smaller rack profile or fibre-channel connectivity should evaluate other platforms. The single OCP 2.0 mezzanine card offers 10/25 Gb SFP28 networking, but the server ships without a front bezel or ready rails.

26-Bay 3.5-Inch Chassis

The defining specification is the 26-bay 3.5-inch chassis, which sets the total raw storage ceiling and physical footprint. With no drives included, the buyer must populate the trays with SAS or SATA devices supported by the HBA330 controller. Memory can scale to 1 TB across 16 slots, and the LGA 3647 sockets are already fully populated with two processors.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the two Xeon Gold 6150 processors are running at 2.7 GHz with 18 cores each after installation?

The iDRAC 9 Enterprise interface reports live CPU speed and core count for both sockets, confirming 2.7 GHz base and 3.7 GHz turbo on the 18-core Gold 6150 chips.

Which drive trays and rails arrive with the server and what must I supply myself?

The shipment includes 26 Dell 3.5-inch drive trays; front bezel and Ready Rails are not included and must be purchased separately.

Should I choose the 32 GB DDR4-2666 configuration or add modules up to the 1 TB limit for my workload?

The system ships with four 8 GB DDR4-2666 ECC RDIMMs occupying four of 16 slots; add matching modules in multiples of four to scale toward 1 TB as capacity needs grow.
