High-capacity 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 is a 2U rackmount server built for storage-dense workloads. It ships with dual Intel Xeon Gold 6150 processors, each running at 2.7 GHz with an 18-core design and 3.7 GHz turbo. The system includes 32 GB of DDR4-2666 ECC registered memory across 16 slots, supporting up to 1 TB total capacity.

Storage upgrade from lower-density platforms

This configuration delivers 26 front-access 3.5-inch drive bays populated with 4 TB 7.2K SATA drives, managed by a PERC H330 controller supporting 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA. The jump is worth it when backup repositories, media archives or software-defined storage clusters need maximum raw capacity in a single 2U footprint without moving to a larger chassis.

Build integration with redundant power and remote

Dual 1100 W platinum power supplies provide hot-swap redundancy for continuous operation. Networking includes an integrated dual-port 1 GbE LOM plus a Broadcom 57414 dual-port 10/25 Gb SFP28 OCP 2.0 mezzanine card. iDRAC 9 Enterprise enables full remote monitoring and administration, while PCIe slots remain available for additional controllers or networking upgrades.

Questions about this item

What rack depth and rails are required to mount the 2U R740xd2 chassis?

The server occupies 2U of rack height. Front bezel and ready rails are not included, so you must supply compatible sliding rails and verify your cabinet depth can accept the chassis.

In what order should the 26 x 4TB 3.5" drives and the PERC H330 controller be installed?

Install the two Xeon Gold 6150 processors and the 32GB DDR4-2666 memory first, then seat the H330 mini controller, cable the backplane, and finally load the 26 drives into the front bays.

Which field-replaceable units are designed for hot-swap service during operation?

The 26 SATA hard drives and the two 1100W platinum power supplies are hot-swappable; fans are also redundant and hot-swappable for continuous uptime.
