Cloud Ninjas' Dell PowerEdge R740xd Specifications
Chassis
The Dell PowerEdge R740xd server is the one of the best storage servers in Dell's 14th Generation of PowerEdge servers. The R740xd allows for a vast number of drives to be installed. There are two possible chassis options for the R740xd: 12 Bay LFF and 24 Bay SFF. The main differences between the two chassis are the number of drive bays and the drive form factor that they accept.
12 Bay LFF
The 12 Bay LFF chassis for the PowerEdge R740xd allow for twelve 3.5" SAS/SATA drives to be installed into the backplane. 2.5" hard drives and solid state drives can be plugged into the backplane via a 2.5" to 3.5" drive converter.
24 Bay SFF
The R740xd's 24 Bay SFF chassis allows for twenty-four 2.5" SAS/SATA HDDs and SSDs to be plugged into the backplane.
Rear Configurations
There are three rear configuration options for the Dell PowerEdge R740xd server. The first configuration includes two 3.5" rear flex bays, three full-height PCIe slots, and one low-profile PCIe slot. The second configuration includes four 2.5" rear flex bays, three full-height PCIe slots, and one low-profile PCIe slot. Each chassis has a dedicated iDRAC LAN port, a serial connector, a VGA port, two Type A USB 2.0 ports, a network daughter card slot, and two hot-swap power supply bays.
Processing Power

Memory
The Dell PowerEdge R740xd Server has a total of 24 DIMM slots which makes this system great in terms of scalability. This system accepts DDR4 memory. ECC Registered (RDIMMs), Load Reduced (LRDIMMs), and Intel Optane DC Persistent Memory (DCPMM) can be used with the R740xd, but you cannot mix these two types. Capacities of 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB, and 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB. 128GB is only available with LRDIMMs and 256GB and 512GB are only available with DCPMM. With Load Reduced and Intel Optane, you can achieve an overall greater RAM capacity. With ECC Registered memory, you can achieve a max of 1.5TB with a configuration of 24x64GB modules. With Load Reduced, the max you can achieve is 3TB with a configuration of 24x128GB modules. With Intel Optane alone, 6.14TB can be acheived with 12x512GB modules. The Dell R740xd supports memory speeds of 2133MT/s, 2400MT/s, 2666MT/s, 2933MT/s, and 3200MT/s. The processor you have installed will determine the max memory speed that you can use with your system. For example, if your processor supports a max memory speed off 2666MT/s and you install a 2933MT/s module, the module will clock down to 2666MT/s. 2933MT/s is the fastest possible speed for this system.
