Dense storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd chassis fits twelve 3.5-inch drive bays in a 2U rack frame, giving capacity-focused teams a single platform for large local datasets. Two Xeon 5118 processors at 2.3 GHz and 32 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory handle concurrent workloads without needing a separate compute cluster.

Twelve-bay flexibility and integrated management

The PERC H730P RAID controller supports SATA drives across all twelve bays, so arrays can be rebuilt or expanded while the system stays online. Dual 1100 W supplies and the iDRAC9 Enterprise licence provide redundant power and full out-of-band control from any browser, reducing physical visits to the rack.

Upgrade from direct-attached shelves

Organisations moving from external JBOD enclosures or older 8-bay servers gain higher density and hardware RAID without rewriting applications. The jump makes sense when backup windows shrink, archive growth outpaces current bays, or a single management console replaces multiple vendor tools.

Questions about this item

What storage interface does the PERC H730P controller use and what does that limit?

The PERC H730P controller uses a SATA interface for the twelve 3.5-inch drive bays, so all installed drives must be SATA models.

What physical space is required to mount the 36 x 24 x 10 inch chassis?

The chassis measures 36 by 24 by 10 inches and weighs 40 units, so a rack shelf or rails rated for that depth and weight are required.

How are the two Xeon 5118 processors and 32GB DDR4 memory installed, and what step is often missed?

Both Xeon 5118 CPUs come pre-installed with 32GB DDR4 ECC registered memory; the step often missed is seating each DIMM until the retention clips click.
