24-bay rack server for dense storage workloads
The Dell PowerEdge R740xd chassis fits twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays in a 2U rack-mount form factor. Dual Xeon Gold 6138 processors deliver twenty cores each at 2.0 GHz with 27.5 MB cache. The system ships with 768 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller. No drives are installed; storage is configured to order.
The single specification that decides fit
Twenty-four front-accessible 2.5-inch SAS bays define the storage density this platform can support. If the deployment requires more than twenty-four drives, a different chassis is needed. The PERC H730P controller manages RAID across those bays, and the installed 768 GB DDR4 memory fills a portion of the 3 TB maximum capacity.
Tool-less rail installation
The server mounts on standard rack rails that are available on request; no tools are required to secure the chassis. The most common issue is mismatched drive caddies — only Dell 2.5-inch caddies lock correctly into the twenty-four bay backplane. Firmware and BIOS are updated to the latest stable version before shipment, and a burn-in test verifies all components.
