Storage-dense 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 is a 2U rack server built for high-capacity storage workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8260 24-core processors running at 2.4 GHz with 3.9 GHz turbo, 16 GB of DDR4-2933 ECC memory, a PERC HBA330 storage controller and twenty-six 4 TB 7.2K SATA hard drives. Redundant 1100 W power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise remote management complete the configuration.

Suited for archive and backup targets

This system suits organisations that need dense, cost-effective capacity for backup repositories, media archives or software-defined storage clusters. Buyers who require all-flash performance, faster drive protocols or GPU-accelerated workloads should evaluate other platforms because the installed HBA330 controller and SATA drives do not address those requirements.

Twenty-six drive bays in 2U

The defining specification is the twenty-six 3.5-inch drive bays fitted into a 2U chassis, delivering over one hundred terabytes of raw capacity in a single rack unit. If the deployment needs fewer bays, higher spindle speeds or a different drive interface, a different server chassis will be a better fit.

Questions about this item

How many 3.5-inch drives can the chassis hold before I hit the physical limit?

The chassis provides 26 front bays, all populated with 4TB 7.2K SATA drives.

What is the power draw and thermal load when both CPUs and all drives run continuously?

Two 1100W platinum power supplies deliver redundant power; exact sustained wattage and heat output depend on workload.

Which network interfaces are already on the motherboard so I know what cables to bring?

A dual-port 1GbE LOM and a Broadcom 57414 dual-port 10/25Gb SFP28 OCP 2.0 mezzanine card are installed.
