24-bay 2.5" chassis for dense storage

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd fits 24 small-form-factor drives in a 2U rack frame. Two Xeon Gold 5120 processors run at 2.2 GHz with 14 cores each. 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory is installed. A PERC H730P RAID controller manages SAS storage. Dual 1100 W supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management come standard.

Suits virtualisation hosts needing maximum drive

This server targets workloads that demand many local disks in minimal rack space. Buyers who want more storage bays than a typical 2U design offers will fit the 24-bay layout. Builders needing GPU acceleration or larger 3.5" drives should look elsewhere. The integrated graphics and lack of PCIe riser details limit add-in card options.

24 x 2.5" drive bays define capacity potential

The single specification that decides fit is the 24-bay 2.5" chassis. It sets the upper bound for raw SAS capacity and RAID group sizing. No 3.5" bays are present. Confirm your drive form factor and quantity before ordering.

Questions about this item

What RAID controller interface does the PERC H730P use and what drive speed does it cap at?

The PERC H730P controller uses a SAS interface and caps drive throughput at the SAS bus speed of the installed 2.5-inch drives.

What chassis depth clearance and rack-unit height are required to mount the 24-bay R740xd?

The chassis measures 36 inches deep and fits a standard 2U rack opening, so allow at least 36 inches of depth clearance behind the front rails.

How are the two Xeon Gold 5120 processors installed and which orientation step is often missed?

Each processor seats in its LGA socket with the notches aligned to the socket keys; the common mistake is lowering the retention lever before the CPU sits fully flat.
