Capacity & form factor

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server that fits 24 small-form-factor 2.5" drive bays. It arrives with two Xeon Bronze 3204 processors at 1.9 GHz and 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. A PERC H730P RAID controller and a dual-port 10 GbE 562T adapter are installed. Two 1100 W power supplies provide redundant power.

Who this suits

Organisations building dense storage arrays or virtualisation clusters that can use SAS hard drives will find the 24-bay chassis and hardware RAID a direct fit. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, more than two sockets or drive bays that accept only a different interface should evaluate other platforms. The integrated graphics and single 10 GbE link also limit use cases that demand discrete compute or higher network throughput.

Drive-bay count

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5" chassis, which sets the maximum number of SAS drives the system can hold. All storage expansion depends on that bay population and the PERC H730P controller. If the workload requires more bays or a different drive form factor, this server cannot meet the requirement.

Questions about this item

Will the 24 drive bays limit how much raw storage I can install?

The 24 2.5-inch bays set the physical limit; with the PERC H730P controller you can fill every bay with SAS drives up to the capacity each drive provides.

How much heat and power should I plan for when both Xeon Bronze 3204 CPUs run at 1.9 GHz all day?

Dual 1100 W power supplies deliver redundant power for the two six-core CPUs and 256 GB DDR4 ECC memory under continuous load.

Which rails or rack hardware do I need to have on hand before the R740xd arrives?

A rail kit is available on request, so confirm the rack depth and order matching rails if your cabinet does not already include compatible sliding rails.
