DELL PowerEdge R740xd 12LFF 2x Xeon Bronze 3204 256GB DDR4 No Drive

12-Bay 3.5" Rack Server with Dual Xeon Bronze 3204

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack-mount server system designed for storage-dense workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Bronze 3204 processors running at 1.9GHz and 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. A PERC H730P RAID controller manages up to twelve 3.5-inch SATA drive bays. The unit includes dual 1100W power supplies and an iDRAC9 Enterprise licence for remote management.

Suited for Cold-Storage Archives Not

This configuration fits organisations that need maximum 3.5-inch drive capacity in a standard rack footprint for backup, archival or software-defined storage clusters. Buyers who require higher single-thread performance, larger CPU core counts or GPU acceleration should evaluate alternative platforms. The integrated graphics and 10GbE 562T adapter support basic display and network connectivity without additional cards.

12 Large-Form-Factor Drive Bays Define the Storage

The chassis provides exactly twelve 3.5-inch SATA bays backed by the PERC H730P controller, setting the hard limit for internal spinning-media capacity. No drives are installed, so the buyer must populate the bays to activate any storage volume. Memory can scale to 3TB across the remaining DIMM slots, but the bay count cannot be expanded beyond twelve.
