Dense 24-bay compute node

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd fits dual Xeon Gold 5218 processors and 256 GB of DDR4 ECC memory into a 2U rack chassis that accepts up to twenty-four 2.5-inch SAS drives. It targets datacentre teams who need high core counts and local storage density for virtualisation, database or software-defined storage clusters.

Leap from smaller 2U or single-socket boxes

Moving from a twelve-bay or single-processor server adds sixteen extra drive bays and a second 16-core CPU, doubling thread capacity and letting the PERC H730P manage larger RAID sets. The jump pays off when workloads outgrow memory channels or drive slots on the older platform.

Slide-in rails and cabled power

The unit ships with dual 1100 W supplies and standard rack rails, so installation is a matter of seating the chassis, connecting power and networking to the 10 GbE 562T adapter, then configuring iDRAC9 Enterprise for remote management. Common issues are missing drive caddies for the 24-bay backplane and forgetting to license iDRAC features before deployment.

Questions about this item

What rack dimensions does the 24SFF chassis require?

The server occupies a 2U rack space measuring 36 x 24 x 10 inches and weighs 40 pounds, so the rack must accommodate that depth and weight.

How are the two Xeon Gold 5218 processors and 256GB DDR4 ECC Registered memory installed, and what step is often missed?

Both CPUs are pre-installed on the system board; the 256GB DDR4 ECC Registered memory fills the DIMM slots — the step often missed is populating slots in the correct channel order for each processor.

When will the PERC H730P RAID controller battery need replacement?

The PERC H730P uses a lithium-ion battery backup unit that typically lasts three to five years; plan to replace it when the iDRAC9 Enterprise alerts show degraded battery health.
