24-bay rack server for dense storage workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd chassis fits 24 small-form-factor bays in a 2U frame and ships with dual Xeon Silver 4215R processors at 3.2 GHz and 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It targets organisations that need high local capacity for databases, virtualisation hosts or software-defined storage clusters.

Capacity headroom with dual CPUs

Two 8-core Xeon Silver 4215R CPUs deliver 16 cores and 11 MB cache each, while the board supports up to 3 TB of DDR4 across 24 DIMM slots. The PERC H730P RAID controller manages SATA drives across all 24 bays, but the server arrives without drives so storage performance scales only with the media you add.

iDRAC9 Enterprise and 10 GbE adapter enable remote

The integrated iDRAC9 Enterprise licence provides full out-of-band management, virtual console and automation APIs without extra cost. A dual-port 10 GbE 562T adapter is installed for high-throughput networking, while dual 1100 W supplies give redundancy. Rail kits are optional and drives must be sourced separately.

Questions about this item

Will the 24 SFF bays accept the 2.5 inch SATA drives I already own?

Yes, the chassis provides 24 bays for 2.5 inch drives and the PERC H730P controller supports SATA, so your existing drives will fit and be recognised.

How can I confirm both Xeon Silver 4215R processors are running at 3.2 GHz after installation?

Log into iDRAC9 or the BIOS and check the processor information page; it will show two 4215R CPUs each reporting a 3.2 GHz clock speed.

Does the shipment include the 256 GB DDR4 memory and the 1100 W power supplies, or must I order them separately?

The 256 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory (16 GB × 16) and two 1100 W power supplies are already installed; only drives and rail kits are optional extras.
