24-bay 2U rack server for storage-intensive

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd chassis holds up to 24 small-form-factor drives in a 2U rack footprint. Dual Xeon Silver 4215R processors deliver 16 cores at 3.2 GHz with 11 MB cache each. The system ships with 32 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller. No drives are installed, so storage capacity is configured to order.

Verify rack depth and power infrastructure before

The unit measures 36 inches deep and weighs 40 pounds, so confirm the rack can accommodate that length and load. Two 1100 W power supplies require matching PDU outlets and circuits. The iDRAC9 Enterprise licence enables remote management, but network cabling for the 10 Gb dual-port adapter must be planned. Drive carriers for 2.5-inch SATA devices are needed to populate the 24 bays.

Sustained throughput stays consistent under heavy

The PERC H730P controller maintains steady RAID performance during extended write sequences. Dual 1100 W supplies share load evenly, preventing thermal throttling when all 24 bays are active. iDRAC9 provides continuous sensor telemetry so administrators can track temperature and power trends over long runs. The 10 Gb network link avoids bottlenecks during prolonged data transfers.

Questions about this item

Does the R740xd ship with drives or do I need to purchase 2.5" SATA drives separately?

The chassis has 24 SFF bays and no drives are installed; you must supply 2.5" SATA drives for the PERC H730P controller.

Should I select the 32 GB DDR4 configuration or plan for the 3 TB maximum?

Two 16 GB DDR4 ECC RDIMMs are installed; the board supports up to 3 TB if your workload needs more capacity later.

What does the 3.2 GHz Xeon Silver 4215R speed mean for database throughput?

Each of the two 8-core CPUs runs at 3.2 GHz with 11 MB cache, giving 16 cores total for parallel query execution.
