Dell PowerEdge R740xd 24-bay server

This Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack-mount server system built for dense storage workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6226R processors, each running at 2.9 GHz with 16 cores and 22 MB cache. The chassis holds 24 small-form-factor drive bays and includes a PERC H730P RAID controller. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 with an Enterprise licence.

Suits storage-heavy databases

The 24-bay layout and dual 16-core CPUs give strong throughput for workloads that keep many drives active at once. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or more than 64 GB of memory from day one should look at a different configuration. The integrated graphics and single 10 GbE adapter also limit use cases that demand discrete compute or higher network bandwidth.

24 x 2.5-inch SATA drive bays define capacity

The chassis accepts up to twenty-four 2.5-inch SATA drives, so the maximum raw capacity is set by the drives you install. No drives are included, and the PERC H730P controller manages them over SATA. If your design requires a different bay count or a different drive interface, this chassis will not fit.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the PERC H730P RAID controller is operational after powering on the R740xd?

During POST the controller initialisation message appears and the iDRAC9 Enterprise dashboard reports the H730P status as healthy; both indicate the RAID controller is working.

Which components are included with this R740xd and which must be sourced separately?

The unit ships with two Xeon Gold 6226R CPUs, 64 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory, the PERC H730P RAID controller, a 10 GbE 562T two-port adapter, two 1100 W power supplies and 24 empty 2.5-inch drive bays; drives and rail kit are not included.

How do I decide between the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis and a different capacity for this R740xd?

This listing is the 24 SFF version, providing twenty-four 2.5-inch bays; if your storage plan needs fewer bays you would select a different chassis configuration.
