2U Server for Data-Intensive Workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 is a 2U rack server built for environments that demand high storage density and reliable compute. It suits organisations running software-defined storage, big data analytics, backup repositories or large media archives. Dual Intel Xeon Gold 6254 processors provide 36 total cores at 3.1 GHz base frequency with 4.0 GHz turbo capability.

Sustained Compute and Storage Throughput

Under continuous load the twin 18-core CPUs maintain steady throughput for parallel workloads such as distributed file systems or database clusters. The 128 GB DDR4-2933 ECC registered memory supports error correction to protect data integrity during long-running operations. Twenty-six 4 TB 7.2K SAS drives deliver persistent sequential bandwidth for streaming reads and writes across the storage controller.

Enterprise Build with Redundant Power

The chassis uses hot-swap redundant 1100 W platinum power supplies to keep the system running during a single supply failure. A PERC H330 controller manages the 26 drive bays with 12 Gb/s SAS connectivity. Network I/O includes a dual-port 1 GbE LOM and a Broadcom 57414 dual-port 10/25 Gb SFP28 OCP 2.0 mezzanine card. iDRAC 9 Enterprise enables remote monitoring and administration without physical access.

Questions about this item

How much heat do the two Xeon Gold 6254 CPUs and twenty-six 7.2K SAS drives generate under sustained load?

Two Xeon Gold 6254 processors run at 3.1 GHz with 4.0 GHz turbo across 18 cores each, while 26 enterprise 4 TB 7.2K SAS drives spin continuously; dual 1100 W platinum supplies handle the combined thermal load.

Which rack rails and front bezel must I supply to mount this 2U server?

The unit ships without Ready Rails or a front bezel, so you must provide compatible 2U sliding rails and a bezel for a Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 chassis.

Can the PERC H330 controller manage the existing 26 SAS drives plus additional SATA SSDs I may add later?

The PERC H330 is a 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller supporting the installed 26 drives; open 3.5-inch bays accept SATA SSDs for mixed workloads.
