Dell PowerEdge R740xd 24-Bay Server
This 2U rack server ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 5218R processors running at 2.1 GHz and 768 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis supports up to twenty-four 2.5-inch SAS drives and includes a PERC H730P RAID controller with 10 GbE networking. It is built for dense storage workloads in a standard rack footprint.
Suits virtualisation hosts
Organisations needing high core counts and large memory capacity for virtual machines or in-memory databases will match this specification. Buyers who require more than twenty-four drive bays or a different drive form factor should evaluate other platforms.
Twenty-four 2.5-inch SAS drive bays
The front panel provides exactly twenty-four hot-plug bays for 2.5-inch SAS media, defining the maximum internal raw capacity. If your deployment needs a higher bay count or a 3.5-inch form factor, this chassis does not fit.

Questions about this item
What are the rack dimensions and weight for the 24SFF chassis?
The server measures 36 x 24 x 10 inches and weighs 40 units, fitting a standard rack footprint.
How are the dual Xeon Gold 5218R CPUs and 768GB DDR4 installed, and what step is often missed?
Both 2.1 GHz processors are pre-installed; memory populates all 24 DIMM slots — ensure each module clicks fully into the DDR4 ECC registered sockets.
When will the PERC H730P RAID controller battery need replacement?
The controller cache battery typically lasts 3 to 5 years; iDRAC9 Enterprise will alert you when the battery health drops below threshold.
