Dense compute node

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd packs two Xeon Platinum 8260L processors at 2.4GHz and 384GB of DDR4 ECC memory into a 2U rack frame. Twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays and a PERC H730P RAID controller give storage-heavy workloads room to scale. Integrated graphics and a 10GbE 562T adapter handle console and data traffic.

Rack and power check

Confirm the cabinet can accept a 36 x 24 x 10 inch chassis weighing 40 pounds and that rails or shelves are available. Two 1100W supplies require matching PDU outlets and circuits rated for the load. Verify iDRAC9 Enterprise licensing matches your management platform before deployment.

Built for constant duty

Redundant power supplies and hot-swap drive carriers let technicians swap components without downtime. The PERC H730P connects through SAS backplanes, so cable routing stays predictable during drive changes. Front-panel LEDs and iDRAC remote console give immediate status visibility from the rack aisle.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box with the PowerEdge R740xd 24SFF and what must I purchase separately?

The server ships with two Xeon Platinum 8260L processors, 384 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory, a PERC H730P RAID controller, a 10 GbE 2-port 562T adapter, dual 1100 W power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management. Drives and rail kit are not included.

Which version should I choose between the 24 SFF bay chassis and other R740xd configurations?

This listing is the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis. Choose it when you need maximum drive density in 2U; other R740xd models offer fewer bays or 3.5-inch trays and are not covered by this page.

What does the 384 GB DDR4 figure mean once the server is running production workloads?

All 384 GB are installed as ECC registered DDR4 across the 24 DIMM slots, leaving 24 slots free to reach the 3 TB maximum if your applications later demand more capacity.
