DELL PowerEdge R740xd 12LFF 2x Xeon Bronze 3204 1.9GHz 128GB DDR4 No Drive rack server

12-bay 3.5-inch rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack-mounted server that holds up to twelve 3.5-inch drives. It ships with two Intel Xeon Bronze 3204 processors running at 1.9 GHz and 128 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. A PERC H730P RAID controller and dual 1100 W power supplies are installed. No drives are included.

Suits dense storage workloads; not for GPU compute

This configuration fits organisations that need high local capacity in a 2U form factor for backup, archive or software-defined storage. The integrated graphics and lack of PCIe GPU support make it unsuitable for visualisation, rendering or AI training workloads. Buyers who need more than two processor sockets or a smaller chassis should evaluate other platforms.

Twelve 3.5-inch drive bays define capacity

The chassis provides twelve hot-plug 3.5-inch bays backed by the PERC H730P controller with SATA connectivity. This bay count is the primary factor that determines whether the system can meet a given raw storage target.
