24-SFF Chassis with Dual Xeon 6130

This 2U rack-mount server ships new with two Intel Xeon 6130 processors running at 2.1 GHz and 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis provides 24 bays for 2.5-inch SAS drives and includes a PERC H730P RAID controller plus a dual-port 10 GbE 562T adapter. Integrated graphics and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management complete the baseline configuration.

Suits dense storage workloads.

The 24-bay layout and dual 1100 W supplies support storage-intensive applications such as software-defined storage, backup targets or virtualisation hosts that need local capacity. Organisations requiring multiple GPU accelerators, high single-thread frequency, or a 1U form factor will find the platform mismatched to those needs.

24 x 2.5-inch SAS drive bays define capacity ceiling

Maximum raw storage is determined entirely by the 24 SFF bays and the SAS interface served by the H730P controller. No drives are installed, so the buyer selects capacity and redundancy by populating the bays with compatible SAS SSDs or HDDs up to the chassis limit.

Questions about this item

What rack depth and clearance does the 36-inch deep R740xd need for the 24 SFF drive bays and cabling?

The server is 36 inches deep; allow that depth plus extra front and rear clearance for cables and the 24-bay chassis in a standard rack.

Which screws and rails secure the 24-bay R740xd in a rack, and where is the step installers miss?

Use the Dell rail kit (available on request) and fasten both front and rear rack screws; the missed step is omitting the rear screws so the chassis slides under load.

When do the two 1100 W power supplies or the PERC H730P controller typically need replacement in this 24-bay server?

Power supplies are hot-plug redundant; replace a unit only if its status LED shows a fault. The PERC H730P has no scheduled replacement — swap it only on failure.
