24-Bay Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack-mount server built for dense storage workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 6130 processors running at 2.1 GHz and 1 TB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. A PERC H730P RAID controller manages up to 24 hot-swap 2.5-inch drive bays. Remote administration is handled by iDRAC9 with an Enterprise licence.

Storage-Focused Deployments

This configuration suits organisations that need high drive-count capacity in a standard rack footprint for databases, virtualisation hosts or software-defined storage clusters. The dual-socket design and 3 TB maximum memory ceiling support demanding multi-threaded applications. Buyers who require more than two processor sockets or a different drive form factor should evaluate alternative platforms.

24 Hot-Swap Drive Bays

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis paired with the PERC H730P controller, which determines how many SAS drives can be installed and managed. This drive density dictates whether the system meets the storage capacity and IOPS targets of the intended workload.

Questions about this item

Will the 1TB DDR4 memory limit the 2x Xeon Silver 6130 CPUs under sustained heavy workloads?

The system ships with 1TB DDR4 installed and supports up to 3TB total, so memory capacity can be expanded if sustained workloads exceed the current 1TB limit.

How loud and hot does the 2U chassis get with dual 1100W power supplies running continuously?

Dual 1100W power supplies and the 24-bay 2.5" chassis are designed for continuous operation; iDRAC9 Enterprise provides real-time thermal and fan-speed monitoring to manage noise and heat.

Do I need to supply my own 2.5" SAS drives and rail kit to make this 24-bay server operational?

Yes, the 24 SFF bays accept 2.5" SAS drives which are not included, and the rail kit is available on request but not installed by default.
