Rack server with 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis

This Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built around a 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis. It ships with one Intel Xeon 5118 processor running at 2.3 GHz and 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. A PERC H730P RAID controller and dual 1100 W power supplies are installed. The unit includes a 10 GbE two-port 562T adapter and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management.

Suited for dense storage workloads.

The 24 front-access drive bays make this platform a fit for storage-heavy tasks such as software-defined storage, backup targets or database nodes that need many SATA drives. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, more than two processor sockets or a smaller rack footprint should look at a different platform. The integrated graphics and single installed CPU limit visualisation and heavy parallel compute.

24 x 2.5-inch SATA drive bays define capacity

The single specification that decides fit is the 24-bay 2.5-inch SATA backplane driven by the PERC H730P controller. It sets the maximum number of drives you can install and the interface those drives must use. If your workload needs more bays, a different drive interface or a smaller chassis, this server will not match the requirement.

Questions about this item

What rail kit do I need to mount this 36 x 24 x 10 in chassis in a standard rack?

The supplier notes the rail kit is available on request; the unit measures 36 x 24 x 10 in and weighs 40, so select rails rated for that depth and weight.

Will my existing 2.5 in SATA drives work with the PERC H730P controller in the 24-bay backplane?

Yes, the backplane accepts 24 x 2.5 in drives and the PERC H730P supports SATA, so current SATA SSDs or HDDs can be installed directly.

How do I confirm the iDRAC9 Enterprise license is active after first boot?

Open a browser to the iDRAC IP, log in, and check the licence page — it should show Enterprise with no expiry warning.
