Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for storage density. It fits twenty-four 2.5-inch drive trays and two Xeon Gold 5118 processors into a compact chassis with redundant 1100-watt power supplies.

Suited to high-capacity workloads

This platform suits software-defined storage, virtual desktop infrastructure and service-provider deployments that prioritise internal drive count. Buyers who need more than twenty-four drive bays or who require a taller chassis should look at a different form factor.

Twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays

The single specification that decides fit is the twenty-four front-accessible 2.5-inch SAS/SATA trays served by a PERC H730P controller. If the workload fits within that bay count the server matches; if it exceeds it the platform does not.

Questions about this item

Will my existing 2.5" SAS drives fit the 24 front trays on this R740xd?

Yes — the server ships with 24 Dell 2.5" SAS/SATA trays that accept standard 2.5" SAS or SATA drives.

How can I confirm the PERC H730P controller is healthy after installation?

Open the controller BIOS during POST or check iDRAC9 Enterprise; both show controller firmware version, battery status and any virtual-disk degradation.

What ships in the box and what must I supply myself?

Included: 2U chassis, 2x Xeon Gold 5118 CPUs, 64GB DDR4 (4x 16GB), H730P 2GB card, 24 drive trays, X520/I350 quad-port NIC, iDRAC9 Enterprise, 2x 1100W PSUs, rails, bezel. Drives are not included.
