Dell PowerEdge R740xd 24SFF Server
This 2U rack server arrives with two Intel Xeon Silver 4214 processors running at 2.2GHz and 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis supports up to twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays and includes a PERC H730P RAID controller. Remote management is provided by iDRAC9 with an Enterprise licence. Dual 1100W power supplies deliver redundant power for continuous operation.
Suits virtualisation hosts
Buyers needing more than two processor sockets or memory beyond the 3TB maximum should evaluate larger platforms. The integrated graphics and 10GbE 562T adapter cover basic display and network needs without extra cards. Organisations requiring GPU acceleration for compute tasks will find no discrete graphics support in this configuration.
Twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays define storage
The 24SFF front bay count is the single specification that determines how many drives the server can hold. With no drives installed, the buyer selects SATA HDDs or SSDs to match capacity and performance targets. The PERC H730P controller manages RAID across the full bay population.
