DELL PowerEdge R740xd 12LFF 2x Xeon Bronze 3104 1TB DDR4 rack server

12-Bay 3.5" Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rackmount system built around twelve 3.5-inch drive bays. Dual Xeon Bronze 3104 processors running at 1.7 GHz provide twelve cores in total, while 1 TB of DDR4 ECC registered memory supports memory-intensive workloads. The PERC H730P RAID controller manages SATA storage, and an integrated 10 GbE two-port 562T adapter handles network traffic. Remote administration is delivered through iDRAC9 Enterprise.

Storage-Dense Workloads

This configuration suits environments that need high 3.5-inch drive density in a standard rack footprint, such as backup targets, media archives or software-defined storage clusters. Buyers who require a smaller chassis, direct GPU compute, or a single-socket design should evaluate other platforms because this unit prioritises drive count and dual-processor throughput.

Dual Xeon Bronze 3104

Two six-core Xeon Bronze 3104 CPUs at 1.7 GHz define the processing ceiling; the socket count is fixed at two with no upgrade path beyond these specific processors. If the workload demands higher per-core frequency, more cores per socket, or a future CPU refresh, this server will not meet that requirement.
