Dense storage server for compute clusters

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd chassis fits twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays into a 2U rack frame. Two Xeon Silver 4214 processors deliver twenty-four cores at 2.2GHz with 16.5MB cache each. 512GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory supports large in-memory workloads. The PERC H730P RAID controller manages SATA arrays behind the front bays.

Verify rack depth and power budget

The unit measures 36 inches deep and weighs 40 units, so confirm your cabinet clearance and floor loading. Dual 1100W supplies require compatible PDU outlets and circuit capacity. A 10GbE two-port 562T adapter is installed; check that your top-of-rack switches have matching SFP+ or RJ45 uplinks. iDRAC9 Enterprise is licensed for remote console and lifecycle automation.

Tool-less drive carriers and cable-free backplane

Hot-swap carriers slide into the 24-bay backplane without screws, letting you replace SATA drives while the server runs. The H730P connects through a dedicated internal slot, leaving all PCIe risers free for additional NICs or accelerators. Rails are available on request for square-hole or threaded racks. Front-panel LEDs show drive health and system status at a glance.

Questions about this item

Does the Dell PowerEdge R740xd 24SFF ship with any 2.5" drives or must I supply all 24 myself?

The server arrives with no drives installed; the 24 front 2.5" bays are empty and ready for your own SATA drives.

Should I choose the 512 GB DDR4 configuration or add more memory up to the 3 TB limit?

512 GB DDR4 ECC registered is installed across the available slots; additional DDR4 modules can be added later to reach the 3 TB maximum.

What does the dual Xeon Silver 4214 2.2 GHz 12-core setup deliver for virtualisation workloads?

Two 12-core Xeon Silver 4214 processors at 2.2 GHz provide 24 cores and 16.5 MB cache each, giving strong multi-thread performance for dense VM deployments.
