24-bay dense storage server
The Dell PowerEdge R740xd 24SFF fits twenty-four 2.5-inch drives in a 2U rack frame. Dual Xeon Platinum 8268 processors provide forty-eight cores at 2.9 GHz for heavy database or virtualisation workloads. Two hundred fifty-six gigabytes of DDR4 ECC memory support large in-memory datasets. The PERC H730P controller manages RAID across the backplane.
Capacity scales to three terabytes
Installed memory sits at 256 GB with headroom to 3 TB across the available slots. The twenty-four drive bays accept SATA SSDs or HDDs for capacity or performance tiers. Integrated graphics handle console output only; no GPU compute is present. Ten-gigabit Ethernet via the 562T adapter feeds storage traffic to the network.
Rack-ready with remote management
The chassis measures 36 by 24 by 10 inches and weighs 40 units for standard cabinet mounting. Dual 1100 W supplies deliver redundancy for the fully populated configuration. iDRAC9 Enterprise enables out-of-band power control, console redirect and firmware updates without physical access. Rail kits are available on request for quick installation.

Questions about this item
Will the PERC H730P RAID controller recognise the SATA drives I already own?
Yes, the PERC H730P controller supports SATA drives so existing SATA disks will be recognised and can be configured in RAID arrays.
How can I confirm both Xeon Platinum 8268 processors and the 256GB DDR4 memory are detected after power-on?
During POST the system will list each 2.9 GHz 24-core processor and show 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory; iDRAC9 Enterprise also reports full hardware inventory in its web interface.
Which components ship with the R740xd and which must be purchased separately?
The chassis includes 2x Xeon Platinum 8268 CPUs, 256GB DDR4, PERC H730P controller, 10GbE 562T dual-port adapter, 2x 1100W power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise; 2.5-inch drives and rail kit are not included.
