24-bay R740xd server for dense storage
The Dell PowerEdge R740xd chassis holds up to 24 two-and-a-half-inch drives in a 2U rack form factor. One Xeon Silver 4110 processor running at 2.1 GHz with eight cores is installed, and the system ships with 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. A PERC H730P RAID controller and a dual-port 10 GbE 562T adapter are fitted, while dual 1100 W power supplies provide redundancy.
Suits storage-heavy workloads; not for GPU compute
This configuration targets buyers who need high drive density for databases, virtualisation hosts or software-defined storage clusters. The single-socket layout and integrated graphics mean the server cannot accommodate GPU-accelerated workloads or a second processor without additional parts. Organisations requiring out-of-the-box GPU support or dual-CPU performance should evaluate alternative platforms.
24 SFF bays define capacity ceiling
The 24 small-form-factor bays set the maximum number of SAS drives or SSDs the system can hold, directly limiting raw storage capacity. Expanding beyond this count would require a different chassis or external enclosures.

Questions about this item
What rack dimensions does the 36 x 24 x 10 in chassis require?
The server occupies a standard 2U rack space measuring 36 inches deep, 24 inches wide and 10 inches high; ensure the cabinet depth exceeds 36 inches for cable clearance.
How is the PERC H730P RAID controller installed and what step is often missed?
The H730P plugs into a dedicated internal PCIe slot; the step many miss is connecting the SAS cables from the 24-bay backplane to the controller ports before powering on.
When will the two 1100 W power supplies need replacement?
Plan to swap the redundant 1100 W units after three to five years of continuous operation or if iDRAC9 reports a degradation alert on either module.
