DELL PowerEdge R740xd 2U rack server 2x Xeon Silver 4110 2.1GHz 256GB DDR4 24x 800GB SSD

Storage-dense 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server fitted with twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays. Two Intel Xeon Silver 4110 8-core processors at 2.1 GHz and 256 GB of DDR4 memory deliver compute power for storage-heavy workloads. A PERC H730P controller manages the installed 800 GB SATA SSDs. Redundant 1100 W power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management are included.

Virtualisation and software-defined storage

This platform suits organisations building virtual desktop infrastructure, software-defined storage clusters or high-capacity file servers. The 24-bay chassis and dual 10 Gb SFP+ ports support dense, network-intensive deployments. Buyers who need more than two processor sockets or a different drive interface should evaluate other platforms.

24-bay 2.5-inch chassis

The defining specification is the twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays in a 2U form factor. This density determines whether the server fits the planned storage capacity and rack space. If the bay count or form factor does not match the design, the system will not meet the requirement.
