Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd fits 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch drive bays into a 2U rack chassis. Two Xeon Silver 4116 processors supply 24 cores at 2.1 GHz with a 3.0 GHz turbo ceiling. It targets software-defined storage clusters, service-provider hosting and virtual desktop infrastructure where drive count matters more than raw compute density.

Tool-free drive and memory access

All 24 bays are hot-swap and the chassis opens without tools, so drives and the 24 DDR4 slots can be serviced while the system runs. The PERC H730P controller handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. A common oversight is leaving the controller battery unseated after a drive rebuild, which disables write-back caching until reseated.

Steady throughput under dual 1100 W supplies

Redundant platinum-efficiency power supplies keep voltage stable when every bay is active and both CPUs sit at turbo. The quad-port X520/I350 daughter card delivers two 1 GbE and two 10 GbE SFP+ links that sustain storage replication traffic without saturating. iDRAC 9 Enterprise provides out-of-band telemetry so thermal trends are visible before throttling begins.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the two Xeon Silver 4116 processors and 768 GB DDR4 are detected after powering on the R740xd?

During POST the BIOS will list both 12-core CPUs at 2.10 GHz and show 768 GB across all 24 slots; iDRAC 9 Enterprise then reports the same inventory in its System Overview page.

What ships inside the box and what must I source separately?

The unit includes the 2U chassis with bezel, ready rails, two 1100 W platinum PSUs, two Xeon Silver 4116 CPUs, 24 x 32 GB DDR4 RDIMMs, PERC H730P 2 GB controller, two 400 GB SATA SSDs, and the X520/I350 quad-port network daughter card; additional drives or SFP+ modules are not included.

Which drive bay count matches this configuration — 24-bay 2.5" or another variant?

This listing is the 24-bay 2.5" model; the chassis front panel holds twenty-four hot-swap 2.5" bays, all cabled to the H730P controller.
