PowerEdge R740xd 2U 24-Bay Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for storage-dense workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6142 processors, each running at 2.6 GHz with 16 cores and a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 512 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 16 modules. A PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache manages the internal drive array.

Suits software-defined storage

This platform targets environments that need high capacity in a compact rack footprint. The 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis supports SAS and SATA drives through the H730P controller with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes. Quad-port networking provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections. Buyers who require solid-state media, GPU-accelerated compute or more than two processor sockets should evaluate alternative platforms because this configuration uses spinning SAS drives and maxes out at two CPUs.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS drive capacity decides fit

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch SAS backplane paired with the H730P controller. It determines how many drives can be installed and which RAID levels are available. With 24 enterprise 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives already populated, the array delivers raw capacity for storage-heavy applications. Confirm that your workload matches this drive count and SAS interface before purchasing.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the PERC H730P controller sees all 24 drives after powering on the R740xd?

Open the iDRAC9 Enterprise web console, go to the Storage tab and confirm each of the 24 SAS bays shows a healthy 2.4TB drive; the controller BIOS also lists all drives during POST.

What ships with the server and which parts must I source separately?

The box contains the 2U chassis, two Xeon Gold 6142 processors, sixteen 32GB DDR4 modules, twenty-four 2.4TB SAS drives, H730P controller, X520/I350 network card, two 1100W PSUs, bezel and rails; no extra components are required for basic operation.

Which memory capacity matches the installed 512GB configuration?

The system arrives with 512GB made up of sixteen 32GB DDR4 2666MHz registered ECC DIMMs; this fills sixteen of the twenty-four slots and leaves room to expand toward the 3TB maximum.
