2U rack server with 24-bay SATA storage

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rackmount server built around two Intel Xeon Silver 4110 processors running at 2.1 GHz with eight cores each. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules. The PERC H730P controller manages two 800 GB SATA SSDs in a 24-bay 2.5 inch chassis. Redundant 1100 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management are included.

Suits storage-dense virtualisation.

This platform fits software-defined storage, service-provider hosting and virtual desktop infrastructure where high drive count and dual-socket compute matter. The quad-port network daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links for flexible connectivity. Buyers who need more than two processors or accelerator cards beyond the available slots should evaluate other platforms.

24-bay 2.5 inch SATA chassis decides fit

The server supports up to 24 SATA or SAS drives via the H730P controller, which offers RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes. Maximum memory capacity reaches 3 TB across 24 DDR4 slots. If the application requires a different drive interface or a smaller bay count, this chassis will not match the requirement.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the dual 1100 Watt PSU setup run under continuous load?

The server includes redundant 1100 Watt Platinum hot-swap power supplies designed for 2U density; fan speed and thermal output scale with CPU and drive utilisation.

What rack infrastructure and network cabling must I already have for the X520/I350 daughter card?

Ready Rails and a front bezel are included for standard rack mounting; the card provides two 1GbE and two 10Gb SFP+ ports requiring compatible transceivers and cables.

Can the H730P controller and 24 DIMM slots support my existing DDR4 ECC modules alongside the installed 256GB?

The PERC H730P handles SAS and SATA drives with 2GB cache; 24 DDR4 slots accept registered ECC modules up to the 3TB maximum, allowing mixed-capacity population.
