2U rack server with 24 SAS drives

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for storage density and compute balance. Two Intel Xeon Silver 4116 processors provide 24 total cores at 2.1 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo. 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory fills 16 of 24 slots. Twenty-four 300 GB 10K SAS drives connect through a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache. Dual 1100 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise complete the package.

Suits storage-heavy workloads.

This configuration fits software-defined storage, virtual desktop infrastructure and service-provider environments that prioritise drive count over raw GPU throughput. The 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis maximises SAS capacity in 2U. Buyers who require GPU acceleration, more than two processor sockets or an all-flash array should evaluate alternative platforms. The fixed 300 GB drive size also limits raw capacity per bay.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS chassis decides fit

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch front panel wired for SAS drives and the H730P controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. This layout determines how many drives you can install and which RAID levels are available. If your workload demands a different drive count, form factor or controller feature set, this server will not match the requirement.

Questions about this item

What type and speed of DDR4 memory modules are already installed in the server?

The system includes sixteen 32GB DDR4 2400MHz registered ECC modules, totalling 512GB across the 24 available slots.

Can the existing Dell PERC H730P controller manage both the current SAS drives and any SATA drives I might add later?

Yes, the H730P 12Gb/s controller supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 and pass-through for both SAS and SATA devices in the 24-bay chassis.

How do I confirm the iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management is active after the server powers on?

During boot the iDRAC9 Enterprise initialisation message appears on screen, and the dedicated management port LED will illuminate once it acquires a network address.
