Dell PowerEdge R740xd 24-Bay 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack-mount server system built for storage-dense workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 24-core processors running at 2.10 GHz and 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory. The chassis holds 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch drive bays populated with 800 GB SATA SSDs.

Suited for software-defined storage

This configuration fits service providers and virtual desktop infrastructure deployments that prioritise internal capacity. The dual-processor design and 24 drive bays support high-throughput storage applications. Buyers needing GPU acceleration, more than 64 GB of memory pre-installed, or a different drive interface should evaluate other platforms.

24 x 800 GB SATA SSDs with PERC H730P controller

The server includes 24 enterprise SATA SSDs connected to a Dell PERC H730P 2 GB RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes. This storage subsystem determines the usable capacity and redundancy profile for the target workload.

Questions about this item

Will the PERC H730P controller and the 24 SATA SSDs work with my existing 2.5" SAS drives?

The PERC H730P supports both SAS and SATA drives, so your existing 2.5" SAS drives can be used alongside the installed 24 SATA SSDs in the 24-bay chassis.

How can I confirm both Xeon 8160 processors and the 64GB DDR4 memory are recognised?

The iDRAC9 Enterprise interface and the system BIOS will display both installed processors and the total 64GB DDR4 memory.

Do the 24 drive bays come populated and are the rails included for immediate rack mounting?

All 24 bays are populated with 800GB SATA SSDs and the Ready Rails are included for rack installation.
