Dual-socket rack server with 24-bay chassis
The Dell PowerEdge R740xd fits 24 small-form-factor drives in a 2U rack-mount frame. Two Xeon Gold 6148 processors run at 2.4 GHz with ten cores each. 768 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory is installed. A PERC H730P RAID controller manages SATA storage. The unit ships with dual 1100 W power supplies and an iDRAC9 Enterprise licence for remote management.
Suited for dense storage clusters
This configuration targets workloads that need many drive bays and large memory capacity in a standard rack footprint. Buyers who need a single-processor server, a tower enclosure or fewer than 24 drive bays should look elsewhere because the chassis is built for dual CPUs and maximum bay density.
24 x 2.5-inch drive bays define the storage limit
The chassis accepts up to twenty-four 2.5-inch SATA drives. No drives are included, so the buyer must supply the exact capacity and quantity required. The PERC H730P controller supports RAID across all populated bays.

Questions about this item
What rack depth and rails do I need to mount the 36-inch deep R740xd chassis?
The server measures 36 inches deep, so your rack must provide at least that much usable depth; a compatible Dell rail kit is available on request to secure the unit.
Can I keep my existing 2.5-inch SATA drives and connect them to the PERC H730P controller?
Yes, the chassis accepts up to 24 2.5-inch drives and the PERC H730P RAID controller uses SATA interfaces, so your current SATA SSDs or HDDs will install directly.
How do I confirm the iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management is active after first power-on?
Connect the dedicated management port, browse to the iDRAC IP shown on the front LCD panel, and log in; the dashboard will display an Enterprise licence status when the feature is enabled.
