High-density 2U rack server for data-intensive

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 is a 2U rack server built for software-defined storage, big data analytics and backup repositories. Dual Intel Xeon Gold 6230 processors deliver 40 cores at 2.1 GHz with 3.9 GHz turbo for enterprise compute. It targets organisations that need maximum drive bays in a compact rack footprint.

512 GB DDR4 and 26 drive bays with H730P RAID

Installed memory is 512 GB DDR4-2666 ECC registered across 16 slots, expandable to 1 TB. Storage consists of 26 x 4 TB 7.2K SATA 3.5" drives managed by a PERC H730P 2 GB controller supporting RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60. The 26-bay chassis fills the front panel, leaving no room for additional 3.5" drives.

Dual 1100 W platinum PSUs with iDRAC 9 Enterprise

Redundant hot-swap 1100 W platinum power supplies share load for efficiency. Integrated iDRAC 9 Enterprise provides remote monitoring and administration without a local console. Network connectivity includes dual 1 GbE LOM ports and a Broadcom 57414 dual-port 10/25 Gb SFP28 OCP 2.0 mezzanine card for high-throughput fabrics.

Questions about this item

Will the 26-bay 3.5" backplane accept my existing SATA drives alongside the installed 4TB units?

Yes, the backplane supports SATA drives and the PERC H730P controller manages mixed capacities in the same array.

How do I confirm the dual Xeon Gold 6230 CPUs and 512GB DDR4 are recognised after first boot?

Open the iDRAC 9 Enterprise interface or enter the BIOS; both will show 2 processors, 40 total cores at 2.1 GHz and 512 GB DDR4-2666 ECC registered memory.

Does the shipment include front bezel and ready rails, or must I order them separately?

The supplier notes that front bezel and ready rails are not included; they must be purchased separately.
