2U rack server with 24 SAS bays

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rackmount server fitted with two Intel Xeon Gold 6142 processors, each running at 2.6 GHz with 16 cores. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 ECC memory across four modules and a PERC H730P controller managing 24 enterprise 2.4 TB SAS hard drives. Dual 1100 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise complete the platform.

Suited for dense storage workloads

This configuration targets software-defined storage, virtual desktop infrastructure and service-provider deployments that need high drive counts in a compact chassis. The quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links for flexible connectivity. Buyers who require solid-state media or PCIe-attached flash should evaluate other options.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS chassis

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch front panel that accepts only SAS and SATA hard drives or SSDs. This physical layout sets the storage ceiling and determines whether the server matches a given capacity or density requirement.

Questions about this item

How often do the 24 SAS hard drives need checking or replacement in a RAID array?

The 24 Dell Enterprise 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives are managed by the PERC H730P controller with battery-backed cache; monitor SMART data and rebuild times to schedule replacements before failures affect the array.

What thermal limit appears first when both Xeon Gold 6142 CPUs run at 3.7 GHz Turbo continuously?

Sustained 3.7 GHz Turbo on both 16-core Xeon Gold 6142 processors will hit the platform power envelope and trigger CPU throttling before the 1100 W redundant supplies reach their limit.

How loud and hot does the 2U chassis get with dual 1100 W power supplies and 24 drives spinning all day?

Dual 1100 W Platinum supplies and 24 10K SAS drives push chassis fans to higher RPMs; expect noticeable airflow noise and warm exhaust air during 24-hour operation.
