Dell PowerEdge R740xd 24-bay server
This Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack-mount server system built for dense storage workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6246R processors running at 3.4 GHz, each providing 16 cores, and 512 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis supports up to 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch drive bays and includes a PERC H730P RAID controller. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 with an Enterprise licence.
Ideal for storage-heavy workloads
The 24-bay chassis suits organisations that need high local capacity for databases, virtualisation hosts or software-defined storage clusters. Dual 1100 W power supplies and 10 GbE networking support demanding availability requirements. Buyers who require GPU acceleration, larger 3.5-inch drive bays, or a tower form factor should consider other platforms.
24 x 2.5-inch drive bay capacity
The defining specification is the 24 small-form-factor bays backed by the PERC H730P controller, which determines how many drives you can install and what RAID levels are possible. Memory scales to 3 TB across 24 DIMM slots, and the two-socket limit is already populated. Confirm that your workload fits the 2.5-inch bay count and SATA interface before purchasing.

Questions about this item
What rack depth is needed to fit the 36-inch deep chassis?
The server is 36 inches deep, so the rack must be at least that deep to accommodate the chassis and allow rear cable routing.
How are the two Xeon Gold 6246R processors installed, and what step is often missed?
Both processors are factory-installed in the dual sockets; the common oversight is forgetting to apply the correct torque sequence when reseating the heatsinks after maintenance.
When will the 512GB DDR4 memory need to be replaced or expanded?
The 512GB DDR4 ECC registered modules can be expanded up to the 3TB maximum capacity using additional DDR4 DIMMs when workload demands grow.
