DELL PowerEdge R740xd 24SFF 2x Xeon Gold 6226 384GB DDR4 No Drive

Ready for dense storage workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd 24SFF chassis holds up to twenty-four 2.5-inch SAS drives behind a PERC H730P controller. Dual Xeon Gold 6226 processors run at 2.7 GHz with twelve cores each and 19.25 MB cache, backed by 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. Integrated graphics and a 10 GbE two-port 562T adapter handle remote management through iDRAC9 Enterprise.

Verify rack space and power budget

Confirm the 36 by 24 by 10 inch form factor fits your rack depth and that the 40 pound unit can be secured on rails. Two 1100 W supplies require matching PDU circuits and voltage. Ensure the SAS backplane cabling matches the drive count you plan to populate and that the PERC H730P firmware aligns with your RAID level.

Add drives and expand memory later

The empty drive bays let you choose capacity and endurance per workload while the PERC H730P manages RAID across all slots. Memory scales to 3 TB across remaining DIMM slots for future growth. Redundant power and iDRAC9 Enterprise keep the platform manageable during upgrades without pulling the server from the rack.
