2U Rack Server with 24 SAS Bays

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rackmount server system built for storage-dense workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4110 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with eight cores. The chassis holds twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays populated with 2.4 TB SAS hard drives. A PERC H730P controller provides hardware RAID support.

Suits High-Capacity Storage Deployments

This configuration fits environments that need large raw capacity in a compact rack footprint, such as software-defined storage clusters or virtual desktop infrastructure hosts. The dual 1100 W power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise enable resilient remote management. Buyers who require solid-state media, more than two processors, or memory beyond 3 TB should evaluate other platforms.

24-Bay 2.5-Inch SAS Chassis

The defining specification is the twenty-four 2.5-inch SAS drive bays backed by a 12 Gb/s PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache. This layout determines total spindle count, RAID flexibility and the maximum raw capacity available without adding external enclosures.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.5-inch SAS drives in the R740xd share a backplane with existing 3.5-inch SATA drives?

The R740xd uses 24 x 2.5-inch SAS bays; 3.5-inch drives need a different carrier and will not fit the same backplane.

How do I confirm the PERC H730P sees all 24 drives and the RAID array is healthy?

Open the H730P BIOS utility or iDRAC9 Enterprise storage view; both show every detected drive, virtual disk state and battery status.

Does the shipment include SFP+ modules for the X520 10 GbE ports and a rail kit for the 2U rack?

The box contains the server, bezel, ReadyRails and two 1100 W PSUs; SFP+ transceivers are not included.
