24-SFF Chassis for Dense Storage

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd 24SFF fits twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays in a 2U rack frame. Two Xeon Gold 6246R processors run at 3.4 GHz with sixteen cores each. The system ships with 768GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller. Integrated graphics and a 10 GbE two-port adapter handle display and network duties. Dual 1100W supplies power the configuration.

Suits Storage-Heavy Workloads Not GPU Compute

This server targets databases, virtualisation clusters and software-defined storage that need many local disks and large memory. Buyers who require dedicated GPU acceleration or more than two processor sockets should evaluate other platforms. The fixed 24-bay front panel also limits expansion for workloads that prefer fewer larger drives. Remote management via iDRAC9 Enterprise is included for lights-out operation.

768GB DDR4 ECC Registered Memory Installed

The platform populates 768GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across the available DIMM slots. This capacity supports large in-memory datasets and high virtual-machine density without immediate upgrades. The DDR4 generation is fixed; other DDR types are physically incompatible. Maximum supported capacity reaches 3TB when all slots are filled with qualified modules.

Questions about this item

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

Yes, the 24-bay chassis ships without drives so you must provide 2.5-inch SATA drives to populate the bays.

Will the PERC H730P RAID controller work with my existing SATA drives?

The PERC H730P controller supports SATA drives, so your existing SATA drives can be used with this server.

How can I confirm the iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management is active after setup?

Access the iDRAC web interface using its network address; the dashboard will show the Enterprise licence status and system health.
