Dense 12-bay compute platform

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd chassis holds twelve 3.5-inch drive bays in a 2U rack-mount form factor. Two Intel Xeon 5118 processors run at 2.3 GHz with twelve cores each and 16.5 MB cache. A full terabyte of DDR4 ECC registered memory is installed, leaving headroom to the 3 TB maximum.

Dual 1100 W supplies with managed airflow

Redundant 1100 W power supplies feed the system while iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management monitors thermal sensors and fan speeds. The PERC H730P RAID controller handles SATA drives without adding discrete GPU heat. Integrated graphics keep the power draw focused on compute rather than display output.

Front-access storage and 10 GbE ready

Twelve hot-swap bays face the cold aisle for drive swaps without pulling the server. A dual-port 562T 10 GbE adapter provides high-throughput networking from the rear. Rail kits are available on request to secure the 36-inch deep chassis in standard cabinets.

Questions about this item

How do I install drives in the 12-bay 3.5-inch chassis and what step is often missed?

Slide each drive into a hot-swap tray until it clicks, then insert the tray into the bay until the lever locks; the step often missed is confirming the PERC H730P controller detects every drive in iDRAC9 before closing the chassis.

What maintenance will the 1100 W redundant power supplies need later?

Inspect and vacuum the fan grilles every six months, verify both units show green LEDs in iDRAC9, and replace any supply that reports a fault or fails self-test.

What thermal limit appears first when both Xeon 5118 CPUs run at 2.3 GHz continuously?

The CPU package temperature reaches its throttle point first; iDRAC9 will log a thermal warning and reduce clock speed to protect the processors.
