Dual Platinum 8268 24-core server for dense

This Dell PowerEdge R740xd chassis holds 24 SFF bays behind two Xeon Platinum 8268 processors running at 2.9 GHz. Thirty-two gigabytes of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller are installed. The system ships with dual 1100 W power supplies and an iDRAC9 Enterprise licence for remote management.

Buyers needing maximum internal drive density in 2U

The 24-bay 2.5-inch layout suits databases, virtualisation hosts or software-defined storage clusters that benefit from many spindles or SSDs. Organisations that require GPU compute, larger DIMM capacities out of the box, or a smaller rack footprint should evaluate other platforms.

24-bay 2.5-inch chassis capacity

The defining specification is the 24 SFF drive bays supported by the PERC H730P controller. Confirm that your workload fits within this bay count and the installed 32 GB DDR4 before ordering.

Questions about this item

How much heat and power do the two 2.9 GHz Xeon Platinum 8268 CPUs and dual 1100W supplies generate during continuous operation?

The server uses two Xeon Platinum 8268 processors at 2.9 GHz with 24 cores each, backed by redundant 1100W power supplies; actual thermal output and draw depend on the workload you run and the drives you install.

Which drive caddies and cables do I need to populate the 24 SFF bays with my own 2.5" SATA drives?

The 24-bay chassis accepts 2.5" SATA drives connected to the PERC H730P RAID controller; you must supply compatible drive carriers and any required backplane cables for the bays you fill.

Will the PERC H730P controller and integrated graphics work with my existing SATA drives and legacy KVM console?

The H730P supports SATA drives in RAID or non-RAID mode, and the integrated graphics provide standard VGA output for direct KVM or crash-cart access.
