High-capacity 2U rack server

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740xd2 is a 2U rackmount server built for data-intensive workloads that demand high storage density. Dual Intel Xeon Gold 6154 processors deliver 36 total cores at 3.0GHz with 3.7GHz turbo for parallel compute tasks. It targets software-defined storage, backup repositories, big data analytics and media archive environments.

512GB DDR4 memory and 26 drive bays

Sixteen 32GB DDR4-2666 ECC registered DIMMs fill all 16 slots, reaching the installed 512GB ceiling with headroom to 1TB maximum capacity. The chassis provides 26 front-accessible 3.5-inch trays for SAS or SATA drives; no drives are installed. The PERC H730P controller with 2GB cache supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes.

Dual 1100W supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise

Redundant hot-swap 1100W platinum power supplies sustain continuous operation under full load. Network connectivity includes a dual-port 1GbE LOM and a Broadcom 57414 dual-port 10/25Gb SFP28 OCP 2.0 mezzanine card. iDRAC 9 Enterprise enables full remote lifecycle management. Front bezel and ready rails are not included.

Questions about this item

Will the 12Gb/s SAS/SATA H730P controller work with the 3.5" drives I already use in my current storage array?

The Dell PERC H730P 2GB controller supports 12Gb/s SAS and SATA drives in RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 and pass-through modes, so existing 3.5" SAS or SATA drives will connect directly to the 26 drive trays.

How can I verify the dual Xeon Gold 6154 processors and 512GB DDR4-2666 memory are recognised after installation?

Use the iDRAC 9 Enterprise remote management interface or the system BIOS to confirm both 18-core CPUs running at 3.0GHz with 3.7GHz turbo and all 16 DIMM slots populated with 32GB DDR4-2666 ECC registered modules.

Which rails and bezel do I need to buy separately to mount this 2U server in a standard rack?

The front bezel and ready rails are not included; order Dell-compatible sliding rails for a 2U PowerEdge R740xd2 and the matching front bezel to complete the rack installation.
