Rack server with 24 2.5-inch bays

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server populated with twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays. Two Intel Xeon Silver 4216 processors run at 2.1 GHz and provide sixteen cores each. 512 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory is installed. A PERC H730P RAID controller manages SAS storage.

Suited to dense storage workloads

This configuration fits environments that need high drive-count density and dual-socket compute in a 2U form factor. The installed 512 GB of DDR4 supports memory-intensive applications. Buyers who require drives included in the shipment or who need a different drive-bay count should consider other configurations.

Twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays

The chassis provides exactly twenty-four 2.5-inch bays, which is the single specification that determines whether the system matches a given storage density requirement. No drives are installed, so the buyer must supply compatible SAS drives. The PERC H730P controller and dual 1100 W power supplies are present.

Questions about this item

Does the R740xd 24SFF arrive with drives installed or must they be purchased separately?

The server ships with no drives installed; the 24 2.5-inch bays are empty and drives must be added separately.

Which Xeon Silver 4216 configuration suits a workload needing maximum core count within this chassis?

This unit already contains two Xeon Silver 4216 processors, each with 16 cores and 22 MB cache, reaching the dual-socket limit of the R740xd.

How does the 512 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory perform once the PERC H730P controller and 10 Gb 562T adapter are active?

The 512 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory runs at full speed alongside the PERC H730P RAID controller and dual-port 10 Gb 562T Ethernet adapter.
