Maximize storage density without sacrificing performance. The 2U, two-socket Dell PowerEdge R740xd is engineered for data-heavy workloads, virtualization, and software-defined storage (SDS). Featuring customizable front, mid-tray, and rear drive bays, the "xd" variant delivers exceptional internal capacity and tiering flexibility compared to the standard R740 platform.

Key Hardware & Management Capabilities

Dual CPU Support
: Dual-socket 2U architecture supporting up to two (2) 1st or 2nd Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors (up to 28 cores each).

DIMM Slots: 24 DDR4 DIMM slots supporting up to 3 TB LRDIMM, with optional support for up to 7.68 TB using Intel® Optane™ DCPMM (up to 2933 MT/s).

Extreme Storage (Configurable): Features a standard base configuration of 8 x 3.5" front drive bays, with optional mid-tray and rear drive expansion bays to maximize internal capacity. The 3.5" LFF version of the R740 is typically preferred for NAS, storage-heavy virtualization, or backup targets (like Veeam/TrueNAS).

OS Boot Subsystem (Optional): Supports an optional BOSS (Boot Optimized Storage Subsystem) card with dual M.2 SSDs for dedicated hardware RAID OS boot redundancy.

GPU Acceleration (Optional): Configurable with up to 3 double-width (300W) or 6 single-width (150W) GPUs/FPGAs across up to 8 PCIe Gen3 slots.

Remote Management: Embedded iDRAC9 with Lifecycle Controller for agent-free management; optional licenses unlock Enterprise/Datacenter tiers and Quick Sync 2 (BLE) integration.
