24-bay 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd fits twenty-four 2.5-inch drives in a 2U chassis and ships with two Intel Xeon 5118 Gold processors at 2.3 GHz. It is built for databases, virtualisation clusters or dense storage arrays that need local capacity and compute in one box.

Sustained dual-socket throughput

Two 12-core CPUs with 16.5 MB cache each feed 1.5 TB of DDR4 ECC registered memory, so memory-bound workloads keep running without swapping. The PERC H730P RAID controller manages the drive fleet while dual 1100 W supplies share the load during continuous operation.

Tool-less rails and remote setup

The chassis accepts tool-less rail kits for quick rack mounting and iDRAC9 Enterprise gives full out-of-band control before the OS loads. Drive bays are hot-swap but no drives are included, so the first task is populating the twenty-four slots with compatible SATA media.

Questions about this item

How much heat and power will the dual 2.3 GHz Xeon 5118 CPUs and 1.5 TB DDR4 produce under continuous load?

The server uses two 1100 W power supplies to support the dual Xeon 5118 processors and 1536 GB DDR4 memory; actual heat output scales with workload and installed drives.

Which drive trays and caddies must I already have to populate the 24 SFF bays?

The chassis accepts 24 x 2.5" SATA drives; you need compatible 2.5" drive carriers for each bay you plan to fill.

Will the PERC H730P controller and 10 GbE 562T adapter work with my existing SATA disks and 1 GbE switch?

Yes — the PERC H730P manages SATA drives in RAID or JBOD, and the 2-port 562T adapter auto-negotiates down to 1 GbE on older switches.
