24-Bay Rack Server for Dense Storage

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server with 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch drive bays. It ships with one Intel Xeon Silver 6130 processor at 2.1 GHz, 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory, a PERC H730P RAID controller and dual 1100 W power supplies. The iDRAC9 Enterprise licence provides full remote management.

Suits storage-heavy workloads; not for GPU compute

This configuration fits databases, virtualisation clusters and software-defined storage that need many drives in a compact chassis. Buyers who require dedicated GPU acceleration or more than two processors should consider a different platform. The integrated graphics and single CPU limit visualisation and heavily threaded tasks.

24 x 2.5-inch SAS drive bays decide fit

The chassis accepts up to twenty-four SAS drives behind the PERC H730P controller, so the usable capacity and IOPS scale directly with the drives you add. If your application needs fewer bays or a different drive interface, another server model will match better.

Questions about this item

What rack depth and rail clearance does the 36 x 24 x 10 in chassis require for the 24 SFF bays?

The chassis measures 36 x 24 x 10 in and weighs 40 lb; allow at least 36 in depth for the 24 x 2.5 in drive bays and verify rail kit spacing before mounting.

How is the PERC H730P RAID controller installed, and which step is often missed?

Seat the PERC H730P card in the dedicated low-profile slot, attach the SAS cables to the backplane, then enable the controller in BIOS — skipping the BIOS enable step leaves the array invisible.

When will the iDRAC9 Enterprise licence or the 1100 W power supplies need replacement?

The iDRAC9 Enterprise licence is perpetual for this server; the two 1100 W supplies are hot-swap rated and typically run five to seven years before proactive replacement.
