PowerEdge R740xd 24SFF Server
This Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server fitted with 24 small-form-factor drive bays. Two Intel Xeon Gold 6140 processors at 2.3GHz deliver 36 cores and 24.75MB cache per chip. The system ships with 768GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller. Remote management is provided by iDRAC9 Enterprise.
Suits dense storage clusters, not GPU workloads
The 24-bay chassis targets buyers who need high local capacity in a 2U footprint. The integrated graphics and lack of GPU clearance rule out render farms or AI training. Organisations that require pre-installed drives or a single-socket configuration should look at a different chassis.
24 x 2.5-inch SAS drive bays decide fit
The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch SAS backplane paired with the H730P controller. If the deployment needs that exact bay count and SAS connectivity, this server matches; otherwise a different backplane or form factor is required.

Questions about this item
Does the 24.75 MB cache per Xeon Gold 6140 require a specific BIOS revision to be recognised?
The unit ships with BIOS and firmware updated to the latest stable version, so the full 24.75 MB cache on each 2.3 GHz Gold 6140 is active immediately.
Will the PERC H730P controller manage the SAS backplane in my existing 24-bay 2.5" chassis without extra cabling?
The H730P is factory-installed and cabled to the 24 SFF SAS backplane, so your current 2.5" drives connect directly with no additional cables.
How can I confirm the 768 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory is operating in quad-channel mode after power-on?
iDRAC9 Enterprise reports memory configuration and speed in the System → Memory inventory page, showing all channels populated and running at the rated DDR4 frequency.
