Rack server with 24 SFF bays
The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack system built around two Intel Xeon Gold 6246R processors running at 3.4 GHz. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller. The chassis provides twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays for SAS storage and includes dual 1100 W power supplies.
Suited for dense storage and dual-socket compute
This configuration fits workloads that need high local capacity and two-socket performance, such as virtualization clusters, database nodes or backup targets. Buyers who require only a single processor, fewer drive bays or a tower enclosure should consider other platforms. The integrated graphics and 10 GbE 562T adapter cover basic management and network needs.
Twenty-four 2.5-inch SAS drive bays decide fit
The defining constraint is the 24 SFF bay count paired with SAS connectivity and the H730P controller. If your deployment needs that exact bay density and interface, this chassis matches; if you need a different bay count or a non-SAS interface, this unit will not suit.

Questions about this item
How can I verify the R740xd is operating correctly after initial power-on?
Watch the front-panel LCD for a green status code, then log into iDRAC9 Enterprise and confirm both Xeon Gold 6246R CPUs, 128 GB DDR4 and the PERC H730P controller appear without errors.
What ships with the server and what must I source myself?
The unit includes 2× Xeon Gold 6246R processors, 128 GB DDR4 ECC RAM, PERC H730P RAID controller, 2× 1100 W power supplies, a 10 GbE 2-port 562T adapter and iDRAC9 Enterprise; 2.5″ SAS drives and rail kit are not included.
Which drive count should I choose for the 24-bay 2.5″ chassis?
Select the number of SAS drives that matches your capacity and redundancy target; the 24 SFF bays accept any quantity up to the full complement.
