Dense 12-Bay Storage Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack-mount server built around a 12-bay 3.5-inch chassis for capacity-focused workloads. It ships with a single Intel Xeon Gold 6126 processor running at 2.6 GHz, 64 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory, and a PERC H730P RAID controller. Dual 1100 W power supplies and an iDRAC9 Enterprise licence provide redundancy and remote management out of the box.

Suits Archive and Backup Roles

This configuration fits organisations that need high-density hard-disk storage for archives, backups or media libraries and can populate the bays with their own SATA drives. Buyers who require a fully populated dual-socket compute node or all-flash performance should evaluate alternative platforms.

Twelve 3.5-Inch Drive Bays

The defining specification is the twelve 3.5-inch drive bays, which set the maximum raw capacity and determine whether the chassis matches your storage density requirements.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the PERC H730P RAID controller is operating correctly after installation?

During POST the controller BIOS initialises and displays detected drives; the iDRAC9 Enterprise dashboard then shows controller health, firmware version and drive status without needing an OS.

What components are included and which must be sourced separately?

The chassis ships with one Xeon Gold 6126 at 2.6 GHz, 64 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory, dual 1100 W power supplies, a 10 GbE 2-port 562T adapter and the PERC H730P RAID controller; 3.5" SATA drives and rail kit are not included.

Which memory configuration should I select to reach the 3 TB maximum?

Populate all 24 DIMM slots with DDR4 ECC registered modules; the board supports up to 3 TB total when fully populated with compatible capacities.
