Dell PowerEdge R740xd 24SFF Server

This Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack-mount server system built for high-density storage and compute. It ships with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors running at 2.1 GHz, each providing 24 cores and 33 MB cache. The system includes 512 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller. The 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis supports SAS drives, though no drives are installed. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise, and dual 1100 W power supplies are fitted.

Suited for dense storage workloads

This configuration suits organisations running virtualisation clusters, software-defined storage, or database nodes that need many drive bays in a compact rack footprint. The dual Platinum CPUs and large memory pool handle heavy multi-threaded loads. It is not a fit for buyers who need GPU-accelerated compute, a tower form factor, or a system pre-populated with storage drives. Workloads requiring more than two processor sockets or memory beyond 3 TB should evaluate larger platforms.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS chassis

The defining specification is the 24-drive 2.5-inch SAS backplane paired with the PERC H730P controller. This layout determines how many drives you can install and what drive interface is supported. Buyers must source compatible SAS SSDs or HDDs separately to populate the bays. The 3 TB maximum memory capacity and dual 1100 W power supplies complete the core infrastructure limits.

Questions about this item

What storage drives are required to populate the 24 2.5-inch bays?

The chassis accepts 24 2.5-inch SAS drives; no drives are installed so you must supply them.

Will the PERC H730P controller manage existing SAS drives from an older array?

The PERC H730P supports SAS drives and can import existing RAID volumes from compatible Dell controllers.

How can I confirm the 512 GB DDR4 memory is recognised after installation?

Check the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface or the BIOS memory map; both will display 512 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory.
