Dense Storage Chassis

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd fits twelve 3.5-inch drive bays into a 2U rack footprint, giving capacity-focused workloads room to grow. Two Xeon Bronze 3106 processors at 1.7 GHz and 32 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory provide a balanced compute base for storage-heavy tasks.

Archive and Backup Builders

This configuration suits teams that need high-density local storage for archives, backups or software-defined storage clusters. Buyers who require GPU acceleration, all-flash performance or a smaller 1U form factor should look at different platforms.

Ready-to-Rack Foundation

A PERC H730P RAID controller, dual 1100 W power supplies and a 10 GbE 562T two-port adapter are installed, while iDRAC9 Enterprise enables full remote management. Drives and rail kits are not included, so they can be selected to match the exact capacity and mounting needs.

Questions about this item

What drives and caddies are required to populate the 12 LFF 3.5" bays?

The chassis accepts twelve 3.5-inch SATA drives; matching Dell drive caddies must be supplied separately as none are included.

Will the PERC H730P controller recognise existing SATA drives from an older Dell server?

Yes, the PERC H730P supports standard SATA drives and can import foreign configurations from previous Dell PERC controllers during boot.

How can I confirm the iDRAC9 Enterprise licence is active after first power-on?

Open the iDRAC web interface, navigate to Overview > License, and verify the status shows Enterprise with no expiry warning.
