Dense storage server for data-intensive workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd 24SFF is a 2U rack server built around 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch drive bays and dual Intel Xeon Gold 6140 processors running at 2.3GHz with 18 cores each. It ships with 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller, making it suited for databases, virtualisation hosts and software-defined storage clusters that need high drive density in a standard rack footprint.

Ideal for teams needing maximum internal bays

Organisations that want a 24-bay SAS platform with integrated 10GbE networking and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management will find the configuration matches those requirements. Buyers who require GPU acceleration, a smaller 1U form factor or pre-installed drives should look at alternative platforms.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS chassis defines capacity ceiling

The single specification that decides fit is the 24-drive 2.5-inch SAS backplane paired with the PERC H730P controller; it sets the raw storage limit and RAID options before any drives are added. If the workload needs more bays, a different chassis is required.

Questions about this item

Do I need to supply my own 2.5-inch SAS drives for the 24-bay chassis?

Yes, the server ships with no drives installed, so you must provide 2.5-inch SAS drives to populate the 24 front bays.

Will the iDRAC9 Enterprise licence work with my existing Dell OpenManage console?

iDRAC9 Enterprise is managed through the same OpenManage tools used for earlier iDRAC versions, so your current console can monitor and control this server.

How can I confirm the PERC H730P RAID controller is healthy after installation?

Check the controller status in the iDRAC9 web interface or during POST; a healthy state shows optimal firmware, battery-backed cache operational, and all configured virtual disks reporting OK.
