Dense 24-bay compute platform

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd packs 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch drive bays into a 2U rack chassis. Dual Xeon Silver 4208 processors run at 2.1 GHz, and 768 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory is installed. A PERC H730P RAID controller and dual 1100 W power supplies are fitted as standard.

Suits storage-heavy workloads

This configuration targets buyers who need maximum drive density for software-defined storage, backup targets or hyper-converged infrastructure. It is not for buyers who want more storage bays than 24, nor for teams that require GPU acceleration or 10 GbE networking beyond the included 562T adapter.

24-bay 2.5-inch chassis decides fit

The 24 SFF bay count is the single constraint that determines whether this server fits the intended deployment; workloads needing fewer or larger bays should evaluate a different chassis.

Questions about this item

Does the SATA interface on the PERC H730P controller cap drive throughput at 6 Gbps?

The PERC H730P controller uses a SATA interface, which limits each drive to a 6 Gbps link speed.

What rack depth is required for the 36-inch chassis?

The chassis measures 36 inches deep, so a standard 42-inch deep rack provides enough clearance for cables and airflow.

How are the rails attached, and which step is often missed?

The rail kit mounts to the rack first, then the server slides in; the step often missed is locking the server to the rails with the supplied screws.
