Dell PowerEdge R740xd 12-Bay Server

This Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for storage-heavy workloads. It ships with twelve 3.5-inch drive bays, two Intel Xeon Bronze 3104 processors at 1.7 GHz, and 64 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The PERC H730P RAID controller and dual 1100 W power supplies are installed and tested.

Suited for dense local storage; not for GPU compute

The twelve-bay chassis suits backup targets, media archives, or software-defined storage clusters that need many SATA drives in one box. Integrated graphics and the Bronze-class CPUs make it a poor fit for virtual desktop infrastructure, rendering, or any workload that demands GPU acceleration or higher single-thread performance.

Twelve 3.5-inch bays define the storage ceiling

The single specification that decides fit is the twelve 3.5-inch drive bays; they set the maximum raw capacity and drive count you can install. If your dataset needs more spindles or a smaller form factor, this chassis will not meet the requirement.

Questions about this item

Will the 12LFF chassis with its 36-inch depth fit in my existing rack alongside other equipment?

The chassis measures 36 inches deep, so verify your rack’s usable depth before installation.

How can I confirm the dual Xeon Bronze 3104 processors and 64GB DDR4 are operating correctly after setup?

iDRAC9 Enterprise provides remote hardware inventory, sensor readings, and POST logs to verify CPU and memory status.

Which drives and rail kit must I purchase separately for the 12-bay SATA backplane?

No drives are included; you need up to twelve 3.5-inch SATA drives and the rail kit is available on request.
