Dense 24-bay compute
The Dell PowerEdge R740xd packs dual Xeon Gold 6138 processors and 512 GB of DDR4 ECC memory into a 2U rack chassis with twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays. It targets data-intensive workloads such as virtualisation clusters, software-defined storage nodes and database tiers that demand high core counts and local capacity.
Dual 1100 W supplies and iDRAC9
Two redundant 1100 W power supplies feed the 40-core CPU complex and the PERC H730P RAID controller while iDRAC9 Enterprise provides out-of-band monitoring and firmware updates. Integrated graphics and a 10 GbE 562T adapter keep baseline I/O flowing without add-in cards.
Configure storage and rails to order
No drives are installed, so buyers select SATA SSDs or HDDs that match capacity and endurance targets. Rail kits are available on request and the system ships with BIOS and firmware already updated to the latest stable release.

Questions about this item
How do I install the Xeon Gold 6138 processors and what step is often missed?
Seat both 2.0 GHz 20-core CPUs in their sockets, apply thermal paste evenly, torque the heatscrews in a cross pattern, then update BIOS and iDRAC9 firmware before first boot — skipping the firmware update is the common oversight.
Which components will need replacement during the server's service life?
The two 1100W power supplies and system fans are field-replaceable units; DDR4 ECC registered DIMMs can be swapped if a memory error occurs, and the PERC H730P RAID controller battery backs the cache and will need replacement when it reaches end of life.
What limit appears first when the 24 SFF bays run sustained write workloads?
The PERC H730P controller's 2 GB cache and the dual 10 GbE 562T adapter bandwidth become the bottleneck before the 24-drive SATA backplane saturates during heavy sequential writes.
