DELL PowerEdge R740xd 24SFF 2x Xeon Gold 6246R 32GB DDR4

24-SFF Chassis Capacity

This Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server fitted with twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays. Two Intel Xeon Gold 6246R processors run at 3.4 GHz with sixteen cores each. Installed memory totals 32 GB of DDR4 ECC registered RAM in a two-module configuration. The PERC H730P RAID controller manages SAS storage, and iDRAC9 Enterprise provides remote management. No drives are installed in the base configuration.

Suits High-Density Storage; Not for GPU Workloads

The twenty-four-bay chassis suits organisations that need maximum local capacity in a 2U form factor. Buyers who require GPU acceleration or more than two processor sockets should look at different platforms. The integrated graphics controller and single 10 GbE two-port adapter meet basic console and network needs. Custom drive and memory configurations are available from the supplier.

Dual 16-Core Xeon Gold 6246R at 3.4 GHz

The decisive specification is the pair of Xeon Gold 6246R CPUs, each delivering sixteen cores at 3.4 GHz with 35.75 MB cache. This combination sets the thread count and single-thread performance ceiling for virtualisation, database or compute tasks. Maximum memory capacity reaches 3 TB when all DIMM slots are populated. The 1100 W redundant power supplies support the fully loaded configuration.
