In this Home Lab update video we take a look at my new (used) Dell R740XD server which I picked up from eBay for £330.
My plan was to get XCPNG installed onto the server and set it up as my new primary XCPNG host to run my VM's.
As you will see in the video this did not quite go to plan I first had issues with the included Dell H740P RAID PCIe card and then had issues with a Dell Boss S1 card with 2 240GB SSD's I bought from another eBay seller which only detects the one drive.
Without any bootable drives I have not yet been able to install XCPNG.
Specs of the server:
Dell R740XD -- £330
24 SFF 2.5” bays
SATA, SAS or U.2 NVMe
24x 600GB 12g Dell SAS HDD
2x Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6230 CPU 20-Core (40-Threads) @2.10Ghz (Max 3.90Ghz)
128gb DDR4 ram
Dell H740p
Dual 750w PSU's
Additional Hardware purchased for project:

-2x Samsung 990 Evo Plus 4TB NVMe SSD's
-2x Sabrent M.2 SSD NVMe PCIe adaptors
-Dell Boss S1 Card with 2x 240GB Micron SATA SSD's installed.
I have installed all the latest BIOS and device firmware updates via IDRAC.
Will post a new video when I can hopefully get it working!
Thanks for watching.
