24-bay 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd chassis holds up to twenty-four 2.5-inch drives in a 2U form factor. Dual Xeon Gold 6244 processors run at 3.6 GHz with eight cores each and 24.75 MB cache. Sixty-four gigabytes of DDR4 ECC registered memory are installed. A PERC H730P RAID controller and a 10 GbE 562T dual-port adapter provide storage and network connectivity.

Sustained workload behaviour

Two 1100 W power supplies deliver redundant power for continuous operation. The iDRAC9 Enterprise licence enables remote monitoring and firmware updates without physical access. BIOS and firmware are updated to the latest stable version before shipment and a full burn-in test verifies stability under load. Integrated graphics handle console output without a discrete GPU.

Pre-order compatibility checks

Verify that your rack provides the required 36 x 24 x 10 inch clearance and can support a 40 lb unit. Confirm that the SATA drive interface matches the storage media you intend to install. Ensure the PERC H730P RAID controller meets your array-level requirements and that the 10 GbE 562T adapter is compatible with your network infrastructure.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the R740xd run with dual Xeon Gold 6244 CPUs and two 1100 W power supplies under continuous load?

The chassis uses redundant 1100 W supplies and 24 drive bays with active cooling; fan speed ramps with CPU and drive temperature, so sustained 3.6 GHz operation will increase airflow and heat output compared with idle.

Which drive caddies, backplane cables and RAID key does the PERC H730P controller need before the 24 SFF bays become usable?

The server ships with the PERC H730P installed; you must supply 2.5 inch drive carriers, the matching backplane cabling for 24 bays and a RAID license key if you want hardware RAID beyond the default configuration.

Will my existing SATA SSDs and the 10 GbE 562T adapter work together in this R740xd without firmware conflicts?

The 562T dual-port 10 GbE adapter and the PERC H730P both support SATA drives; the iDRAC9 Enterprise license ensures firmware across NIC, RAID controller and BIOS stays aligned for mixed-drive deployments.
