Dell PowerEdge R740xd 24-Bay Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon Silver 4216 processors running at 2.1GHz. It provides 16 cores per CPU and 22MB of cache per processor. The system includes 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller with 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch SAS drive bays. Dual 1100W power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management are standard.

Suited for storage-dense workloads

This configuration suits buyers who need high local storage capacity in a 2U form factor and want the flexibility to populate 24 SAS bays with their own drives. It is not for buyers who require pre-installed storage arrays or a GPU-optimised chassis. Organisations needing more than two processor sockets or memory beyond the 3TB maximum should evaluate larger platforms.

24 x 2.5-inch SAS drive bays define capacity

The single specification that decides fit is the 24-bay 2.5-inch SAS backplane driven by the PERC H730P controller. Buyers who need fewer bays, a different drive interface, or a smaller rack footprint will find the chassis does not match their requirement.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 2.5" drives into the 24-bay chassis and which step is often missed?

Slide each drive into a bay until the carrier clicks, then verify the PERC H730P RAID controller detects every drive in the BIOS before loading the OS.

What maintenance will the 2x 1100W power supplies need over time?

Replace a unit immediately if the front-panel amber fault LED lights or the iDRAC9 Enterprise log reports a power-supply critical alert.

What thermal limit appears first when both Xeon Silver 4216 processors run at 2.1GHz continuously?

The CPU package temperature will reach its throttle point before the chassis fans hit maximum RPM, causing automatic frequency reduction.
