24-bay 2.5-inch rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd chassis holds up to 24 small-form-factor drives in a 2U rack-mount frame. Two Intel Xeon Bronze 3204 processors at 1.9 GHz and 768 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory are installed. A PERC H730P RAID controller and a 10 GbE two-port 562T adapter provide storage and network connectivity. Dual 1100 W power supplies deliver redundant power.

Suits dense storage workloads, not GPU compute

This configuration targets buyers who need many drive bays and high memory capacity for virtualisation, software-defined storage or database clusters. Integrated graphics and the Bronze-class CPUs limit 3D rendering, AI training or high-frequency trading. Organisations requiring GPU acceleration or higher single-thread performance should look at a different platform.

768 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory installed

The system ships with 768 GB of DDR4 ECC registered RAM across the available DIMM slots. Maximum supported capacity is 3 TB, so the installed amount can be increased if the workload demands it. Buyers who need the full 3 TB from day one must order additional modules.

Questions about this item

Does the PERC H730P controller limit drive throughput to the SAS link speed?

The PERC H730P is a SAS RAID controller; its practical ceiling is the SAS link speed of the installed drives rather than a PCIe generation figure.

What clearance does the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis need in a standard rack?

The chassis measures 36 by 24 by 10 inches and weighs 40 pounds, requiring a 2U rack space with front-to-back airflow clearance.

What is the correct order for installing the 768 GB of DDR4 memory across the two Xeon Bronze 3204 processors?

Populate the memory channels evenly across both CPUs, filling the same slot position on each processor before moving to the next channel.
