Built for dense storage workloads
This Dell PowerEdge R740xd fits twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays into a 2U rack frame. Two Xeon Platinum 8160 processors run at 2.1 GHz with 33 MB cache each, and 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory is installed. The PERC H730P RAID controller manages SAS storage, while a 10 GbE two-port 562T adapter and iDRAC9 Enterprise handle networking and remote management. Dual 1100 W supplies power the chassis.
Suits buyers who need maximum bay count in 2U
Teams running large-scale databases, software-defined storage clusters, or backup repositories benefit from the twenty-four bay density and 3 TB memory ceiling. Buyers who want fewer bays, lower core counts, or a tower form factor should look at other configurations. The server ships without drives, so storage capacity must be sourced separately.
Twenty-four 2.5-inch bays define the fit
The 24SFF chassis is the single spec that decides whether this unit matches the rack plan. If the project requires a different bay count or a 3.5-inch form factor, this model will not align.

Questions about this item
How many 2.5" drive bays can the 24SFF chassis accept?
The 24SFF chassis supports up to 24 hot-plug 2.5" SAS bays, so you can fill all 24 slots with the drives of your choice.
What is the noise and thermal profile when both Platinum 8160 CPUs run continuously at 2.1GHz?
Dual 1100W power supplies share the load, and the iDRAC9 Enterprise controller monitors thermals to keep fan speeds as low as the workload allows.
Which operating systems or hypervisors are validated on the PERC H730P with iDRAC9 Enterprise?
The PERC H730P RAID controller and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management are validated for Windows Server, VMware ESXi and major Linux distributions on this platform.
