Dense 24-bay 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd chassis holds up to 24 small-form-factor drives in a 2U rack footprint. Two Intel Xeon 5118 processors at 2.3 GHz and 512 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory are installed. A PERC H730P RAID controller and dual 1100 W power supplies complete the base configuration.

Suits storage-heavy workloads

This platform fits virtualisation hosts, software-defined storage clusters and backup targets that need many drive bays and strong multi-threaded CPU performance. Buyers who need more than two processor sockets, GPU acceleration or fibre-channel connectivity should evaluate other chassis designs.

24-bay 2.5" drive capacity

The single specification that decides fit is the 24-bay 2.5-inch SATA backplane. It determines how many drives you can install and which drive form factor the chassis accepts.

Questions about this item

How many 2.5-inch drives can the R740xd 24SFF hold before I hit the chassis limit?

The chassis supports up to 24 drives, so sustained workloads will hit that bay ceiling first.

What is the rated output of each installed power supply during all-day operation?

Each unit ships with two 1100W power supplies for redundant delivery.

Which rail kit do I need to mount this 36-inch deep server in my rack?

A Dell rail kit compatible with the R740xd is required and available on request.
