Storage density in a 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 is a 2U rack server built for data-intensive workloads that demand high storage capacity. It ships with 26 front-accessible 3.5-inch drive bays populated by 8TB 7.2K SATA drives. Two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors each provide 24 cores at a 2.1GHz base frequency with a 3.7GHz turbo ceiling. The system includes 32GB of DDR4-2666 ECC registered memory across 16 DIMM slots.

Dual 1100W platinum supplies and hot-swap power

Redundant hot-swap power is provided by two 1100-watt platinum-efficiency power supplies. The server supports a maximum of two processors, both sockets are occupied in this configuration. The LGA 3647 socket platform and DDR4 memory architecture are designed for sustained enterprise operation. iDRAC 9 Enterprise enables remote monitoring and administration without requiring physical access to the rack.

26-bay SATA storage with H730P RAID controller

The PERC H730P storage controller with 2GB cache supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes for the 26 installed SATA drives. Network connectivity includes an integrated dual-port 1GbE LOM and a Broadcom 57414 dual-port 10/25Gb SFP28 OCP 2.0 mezzanine card. Front bezel and ready rails are not included, so mounting hardware must be sourced separately for rack installation.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 26 3.5-inch SATA drives into the front bays and which step is often missed?

Slide each drive into a carrier until the latch clicks, then insert carriers into the 26 front bays until they lock; the step often missed is enabling the PERC H730P controller in BIOS and creating a virtual disk before the OS sees the array.

Which components will need replacement first and what are the part identifiers?

The 26 enterprise 8TB 7.2K SATA drives and the two 1100W Platinum power supplies are the primary field-replaceable units; memory uses DDR4-2666 ECC RDIMMs across 16 slots.

What thermal or power limit appears first when the dual Xeon Platinum 8160 CPUs run at 3.7GHz turbo continuously?

The 1100W redundant power supplies set the ceiling; sustained 3.7GHz turbo on both 24-core processors can exceed the PSU rating before thermal throttling activates.
