Storage-dense 2U platform

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for workloads that demand high drive counts in a compact footprint. Two Xeon Gold 5118 processors provide 24 cores at 2.3 GHz with 3.2 GHz turbo, while 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight modules supports virtualisation and software-defined storage tasks.

24-bay capacity with H730P RAID

Twenty-four 2.5-inch bays accept SATA SSDs or HDDs, and the installed pair of 400 GB SATA SSDs gives a fast boot or cache tier. The PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache enables RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, so capacity scales until the backplane or controller throughput is saturated.

Quad-port networking and remote management

An Intel X520/I350 daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links for storage and migration traffic. iDRAC 9 Enterprise provides full out-of-band control, while redundant 1100 W platinum power supplies, ready rails and a front bezel complete the deployment kit.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.5-inch drive bays accept my existing 2.5-inch SATA SSDs alongside the installed 400GB SSDs?

Yes, the 24-bay chassis supports 2.5-inch SATA drives and the H730P controller manages them with the same RAID options as the factory 400GB SSDs.

How can I confirm the 128GB of DDR4 2400MHz ECC memory is running at full speed after installation?

Check the iDRAC9 Enterprise inventory or the BIOS memory configuration screen; both report each DIMM at 2400MHz and show ECC status as active.

Are the ready rails and front bezel included, or do I need to order them separately?

The ready rails and front bezel are included in the box; no separate purchase is required for mounting or front-panel coverage.
