DELL PowerEdge R740xd 12LFF 1x Xeon Gold 6126 2.6GHz 256GB DDR4 No Drive

Server for high-capacity storage

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd 12LFF chassis holds up to twelve 3.5-inch drives and ships with a PERC H730P RAID controller. One Xeon Gold 6126 processor runs at 2.6 GHz with twelve cores and 19.25 MB cache. Installed memory totals 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered RAM across the available slots. Remote management uses iDRAC9 Enterprise and networking includes a 10 GbE two-port 562T adapter. Dual 1100 W power supplies provide redundancy. No drives are installed, so storage capacity is chosen separately.

Suits dense archive and backup workloads

This platform fits organisations that need many large SATA drives behind a hardware RAID controller in a 2U rack form factor. Buyers who require more than two processors or memory beyond 3 TB should evaluate larger platforms. The single CPU configuration limits parallel compute throughput for heavily threaded applications. Integrated graphics only, so workloads needing GPU acceleration are not supported. The 12 LFF bay count fixes the maximum drive quantity at twelve.

Twelve 3.5-inch drive bays define capacity

The chassis provides exactly twelve large-form-factor bays that accept 3.5-inch SATA hard drives or SSDs. This bay count is the hard limit on how many drives the system can hold. All storage expansion must fit within these twelve slots. The PERC H730P controller manages RAID across the installed drives. No additional drive cages or backplanes are included.
