DELL PowerEdge R740xd 24SFF 2x Xeon Gold 6134 512GB DDR4

PowerEdge R740xd 24SFF server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack-mount server built for storage density. It holds twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays and ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors running at 3.2 GHz. The system includes 512 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller. Integrated graphics and a 10 GbE two-port 562T adapter handle display and network duties. Dual 1100 W power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management complete the platform.

Storage-focused deployments

This configuration suits environments that need many local drives in a compact rack footprint, such as software-defined storage clusters, backup targets or media repositories. The 24-bay chassis and hardware RAID controller give flexibility for capacity or redundancy layouts. Buyers who want fewer bays, a smaller form factor or a single-processor system should look elsewhere. Workloads that rely on GPU acceleration will not be served by the integrated graphics alone.

512 GB DDR4 installed memory

The server arrives with 512 GB of DDR4 ECC registered RAM spread across the available slots. This capacity determines how many virtual machines, containers or in-memory databases can run simultaneously before the 3 TB ceiling is reached. Memory type and speed are fixed to DDR4; other generations are not compatible. Ensure the application working set fits within this baseline before ordering.
