High-density 2U server with 24 SAS bays

The PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for storage-heavy workloads. It fits twenty-four 2.5-inch SAS drives and runs on two Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors at 3.2 GHz with eight cores each. The system ships with 512 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across sixteen 32 GB modules. A PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60.

Suited for software-defined storage

This configuration targets environments that need high drive counts and redundant 1100 W platinum power supplies in a compact chassis. The quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections, while iDRAC 9 Enterprise enables full remote management. Buyers who require more than two processor sockets or a different drive interface should evaluate other platforms.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS capacity drives the decision

The defining specification is the twenty-four 600 GB 10 K SAS drives installed in the front bays. This density determines whether the chassis meets the storage footprint and performance profile of the intended deployment. All other components scale around this drive count.

Questions about this item

Does the 2U chassis include rails for mounting in a standard rack?

Yes, the system ships with Ready Rails and a front bezel for rack installation.

What is the correct order for installing the two Xeon Gold 6134 processors and the 512GB DDR4 memory?

Both CPUs are pre-installed in the two LGA 3647 sockets; the 16 DDR4 DIMMs are already populated across the 24 slots following Dell's optimised layout.

Which components are hot-swappable and will need replacement over the server's life?

The 24 SAS hard drives, both 1100 Watt power supplies, and the H730P controller's battery are all hot-swappable for service without downtime.
