Dense 24-bay 2.5-inch storage server
The Dell PowerEdge R740xd packs twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays into a 2U rack chassis. Dual Xeon Silver 4214 processors provide twenty-four cores at 2.2 GHz, while 768 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory supports large in-memory workloads. A PERC H730P RAID controller manages the SATA storage array, and an embedded 10 GbE two-port 562T adapter handles network traffic. iDRAC9 Enterprise gives full remote management.
Fits capacity-hungry databases
Organisations running memory-intensive databases, virtual desktop infrastructure or software-defined storage will use the 768 GB RAM and twenty-four drive slots. Buyers who need more than two processors or memory beyond 3 TB should look at a larger platform. The integrated graphics and single 10 GbE adapter limit GPU-accelerated tasks and multi-port high-speed networking. Workloads that require pre-installed drives must add them separately.
768 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory
The installed 768 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory is the decisive specification; it determines whether the server can hold your working set without swapping. Memory type and capacity are fixed to DDR4 and cannot be changed to another generation.

Questions about this item
What interface does the PERC H730P controller use, and what drive speed does it cap at?
The PERC H730P RAID controller connects drives through a SATA interface, limiting installed drives to SATA transfer rates.
What physical space and mounting does the 24SFF chassis require?
The server occupies a 2U rack height with dimensions of 36 x 24 x 10 inches and weighs 40 pounds; a rail kit is available on request for rack mounting.
How are the two Xeon Silver 4214 processors installed, and what step is often missed?
Both processors are factory-installed on the dual-socket motherboard; the step often missed is applying the correct torque sequence when attaching the heatsinks to ensure even pressure.
