2U 24-bay rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack-mounted server system built for storage-dense workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors, each running at 3.2 GHz with eight cores. The platform includes 128 GB of DDR4 memory and a PERC H730P storage controller.

Suits storage-focused deployments

This configuration fits software-defined storage clusters, service-provider hosts and virtual-desktop infrastructure where internal capacity is the priority. The 24 front-access 2.5-inch bays are fully populated with 400 GB SATA SSDs. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or more than two processor sockets should look at a different platform.

24-bay 2.5-inch chassis

The defining specification is the 2U chassis with 24 hot-swap 2.5-inch drive bays, all filled with enterprise SATA SSDs. This density determines whether the server matches a storage-heavy design or if a compute-dense alternative is required.

Questions about this item

Do I need to provide my own SFP+ modules to use the 10 GbE ports on the X520/I350 network daughter card?

Yes, the card provides two 10 GbE SFP+ ports that require compatible SFP+ transceivers and cabling, which are not included with the server.

Can I mix the installed 400 GB SATA SSDs with larger SATA or SAS drives on the PERC H730P controller?

The PERC H730P supports both SATA and SAS drives, so you can add larger SATA or SAS SSDs in the remaining bays, but each virtual disk must use drives of the same size and type.

How can I confirm the iDRAC9 Enterprise licence is active after the server boots?

During POST the iDRAC firmware version and licence status are displayed; you can also log into the iDRAC web interface and check the Licence page to verify Enterprise features are enabled.
