2U Rack Server with 26 Drive Trays

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 is a 2U rackmount server built for storage-dense deployments. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6150 processors and 512 GB of DDR4-2666 ECC memory across 16 populated slots. The chassis provides 26 front-accessible 3.5-inch drive trays for SAS or SATA media. Remote management is handled by iDRAC 9 Enterprise.

512 GB DDR4 with Room to 1 TB

Installed memory totals 512 GB using 16 dual-inline modules, leaving no empty slots in the standard configuration. The platform supports a maximum of 1 TB, so expansion requires replacing existing DIMMs. The PERC H730P controller manages RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with a 2 GB cache and battery backup. No drives are included, so capacity starts at zero.

Dual 1100 W Platinum Power Supplies

Redundant hot-swap 1100 W platinum-efficiency units share the load and allow one to fail without downtime. The 2U form factor limits airflow space, so fans ramp under heavy compute or dense drive populations. Network I/O includes a dual-port 1 GbE LOM and a dual-port 10/25 Gb SFP28 mezzanine card for high-throughput storage traffic.

Questions about this item

Will the LGA 3647 Xeon Gold 6150 CPUs work with my existing DDR4-2666 ECC RDIMM modules?

Yes — the server has 16 DDR4 slots and supports up to 1 TB of ECC registered memory, so your current DDR4-2666 RDIMMs are compatible.

How can I verify the PERC H730P controller is healthy after installation?

Check the controller status in the iDRAC 9 Enterprise interface and confirm the 2 GB cache battery shows charged; the BIOS will also report the H730P firmware version at POST.

Which items ship with the chassis and what must I source separately?

The box includes the 2U chassis, 2× Xeon Gold 6150 CPUs, 512 GB DDR4 (16× 32 GB), H730P controller, 26× 3.5″ drive trays, dual-port 1 GbE LOM, 57414 dual 10/25 Gb SFP28 OCP card, iDRAC 9 Enterprise, and 2× 1100 W PSUs; drives, front bezel and ready rails are not included.
