DELL PowerEdge R740xd 24SFF 2x Xeon Gold 6246R 64GB DDR4 No Drive

24-bay rack server for dense storage workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd 24SFF fits twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays in a 2U rack form factor. Dual Xeon Gold 6246R processors at 3.4 GHz deliver thirty-two cores for virtualisation or database tasks. Sixty-four gigabytes of DDR4 ECC registered memory is installed and the platform supports up to three terabytes total. Integrated graphics and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management come standard.

Verify rack space power and drive carrier needs

Confirm the rack can accommodate a chassis measuring thirty-six by twenty-four by ten inches and weighing forty units. Two 1100 W power supplies are fitted, so appropriate PDU circuits must be available. No drives are installed; order SATA drives and compatible 2.5-inch carriers separately. The PERC H730P RAID controller manages the backplane, so drive selection should match its SATA interface. A 10 GbE two-port 562T adapter is present for network connectivity.

All-metal chassis tool-less rails

The all-metal chassis uses tool-less slide rails for quick installation and service access. Hot-swap drive bays and redundant fans allow component replacement without downtime. Dual power supplies provide N+1 redundancy for continuous operation. Front-panel LEDs give immediate health status while iDRAC9 enables full out-of-band control over a dedicated management port. Rail kit is available on request for specific rack types.
