DELL PowerEdge R740xd 24SFF 2x Xeon Gold 5120 1.5TB RAM No Drive rack server

Dense 24-bay storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd chassis fits 24 small-form-factor drives in a 2U rack footprint. Two Xeon Gold 5120 processors at 2.2 GHz and 1.5 TB of DDR4 ECC registered memory are installed. A PERC H730P RAID controller and a dual-port 10 GbE 562T adapter handle storage and network traffic. The system ships without drives so you can populate the bays to match capacity and performance targets.

Built for capacity-first workloads

This configuration suits teams that need maximum drive density for software-defined storage, backup targets or video surveillance archives. The 24 hot-plug bays and hardware RAID simplify large volume management. Buyers who want a general-purpose compute node with fewer drives and more PCIe slots should look at a different chassis. Workloads that require GPU acceleration or fibre-channel connectivity are not supported by this specification.

24 x 2.5-inch drive bays decide fit

The single specification that determines whether this server fits the rack plan is the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis. It dictates how many drives you can install, the physical space consumed and the storage controller cabling required. Confirm the rack depth and power budget before ordering.
