Dell PowerEdge R740xd 24-bay rack server

This Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server equipped with twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays. It ships with two Intel Xeon 5118 processors running at 2.3GHz, each providing twelve cores and 16.5MB of cache. The system includes 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 with an Enterprise licence.

Suits storage-dense workloads needing many local

The 24-bay chassis fits organisations running databases, virtualisation hosts or software-defined storage that benefit from high drive counts in a 2U form factor. Dual 1100W power supplies and dual 10GbE ports are already installed. Buyers who want a smaller drive count or a tower form factor should look at other platforms. No drives are included, so storage must be sourced separately.

Twenty-four 2.5-inch SAS bays with PERC H730P

The defining specification is the 24-bay SAS backplane paired with the PERC H730P controller, which determines how many drives you can attach and what RAID levels are available. Maximum memory capacity reaches 3TB across the DDR4 slots. Confirm that your workload fits within the installed 256GB or plan additional modules accordingly.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management is active after installation?

Log into the iDRAC9 web interface using the default credentials shown on the chassis tag; the dashboard will display the Enterprise licence status and firmware version once the server posts.

What components are included and which must be sourced separately?

The unit ships with two Xeon 5118 processors, 256GB DDR4 ECC registered memory, a PERC H730P RAID controller, a 10GbE 562T dual-port adapter, two 1100W power supplies and 24 empty 2.5" drive bays; drives and rail kit are not included.

Which drive count suits a 24-bay SAS chassis with a PERC H730P controller?

The chassis supports up to 24 SAS drives; populate only the bays required for your RAID layout — the H730P manages any mix up to the full 24.
