PowerEdge R740xd 24SFF Dual Xeon Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rackmount server system designed for storage-intensive workloads. It arrives with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8260L processors running at 2.4GHz and 32GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory installed across two 16GB modules.

Suits dense storage builds; not for GPU compute

This configuration suits buyers who need up to 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch drive bays served by a PERC H730P RAID controller. It is not for buyers who want dedicated GPU acceleration or a smaller chassis footprint.

24-bay 2.5-inch chassis with PERC H730P

The single specification that decides fit is the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis paired with the PERC H730P controller, which determines how many SAS drives you can install and what RAID levels are supported.

Questions about this item

Does the server ship with any 2.5-inch drives or must every bay be populated separately?

The chassis holds 24 small-form-factor bays but no drives are installed; each SAS drive must be ordered separately.

Is 32 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory enough for the dual 8260L processors or should more modules be added?

Two 16 GB modules are installed across the two CPUs; the board supports up to 3 TB so additional DDR4 can be added later.

What throughput can the PERC H730P RAID controller deliver to the dual Xeon 8260L CPUs?

The H730P manages the SAS backplane and presents logical volumes to the two 2.4 GHz 24-core processors.
