24-Bay 2U Rack Server for Dense Storage

This Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built around 24 front-access 2.5-inch drive bays. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4116 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 12 cores. The system includes 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache. Twenty-four 1.2 TB 10K SAS hard drives are installed, delivering high-capacity internal storage in a compact chassis.

Suits Storage-First Workloads.

The configuration targets software-defined storage, virtual desktop infrastructure and service-provider environments that need many spindles in 2U. Buyers who want an all-flash array or who need PCIe slots for GPU acceleration should look at a different platform. The installed drives are 10K SAS HDDs, so latency-sensitive databases requiring solid-state media will not be served by this unit. Workloads demanding more than two processors or specialised accelerator cards also fall outside this chassis.

24-Bay 2.5-Inch Chassis Dictates Drive Choice

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch front panel, which locks the server into 2.5-inch SAS or SATA devices. The PERC H730P controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. Verify that your operational plan fits within the 24-bay limit and the SAS interface before committing.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the PERC H730P controller is managing all 24 drives correctly after setup?

Open the controller BIOS during boot or use iDRAC9 Enterprise to confirm all 24 drives appear in the array and that the 2 GB cache battery shows healthy status.

What components are included and what must be purchased separately?

The server ships with 2x Xeon Silver 4116 CPUs, 768 GB DDR4 in 24 slots, 24x 1.2 TB SAS drives, H730P controller, X520/I350 quad-port card, iDRAC9 Enterprise, 2x 1100 W PSUs, bezel and rails; no extra parts are required for basic operation.

Which memory configuration matches the installed 768 GB?

The system arrives with 24x 32 GB DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC modules filling every slot; choose this version if you need the full 768 GB out of the box.
