DELL PowerEdge R740xd 24SFF 2x Xeon Silver 4110 2.1GHz 512GB DDR4 No Drive

Dense 24-bay rack server for storage-heavy workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd 24SFF packs two Xeon Silver 4110 processors at 2.1GHz and 512GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory into a 2U chassis. Twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays give raw capacity for large data sets, while the PERC H730P RAID controller handles array management. Integrated graphics and a 10GbE dual-port adapter provide baseline video and network connectivity.

Verify rack depth, power feeds

The unit measures 36 by 24 by 10 inches and weighs 40 pounds, so confirm your rack depth and weight rating can accommodate it. Two 1100W power supplies require matching PDU outlets and appropriate circuit capacity. Drive bays use proprietary 2.5-inch caddies; ensure you have enough carriers for the drives you plan to install. The iDRAC9 Enterprise licence is pre-installed for remote management.

Dual 1100W supplies and updated firmware sustain

BIOS and firmware are updated to the latest stable version before shipment, and each system passes a full burn-in test. Redundant power supplies share load during sustained compute or storage tasks, reducing thermal stress on any single module. The 24-bay layout allows airflow across densely packed drives, while the PERC H730P maintains array integrity under prolonged I/O pressure.
