Dense 12-bay 3.5-inch chassis

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack-mount server built around a 12-drive 3.5-inch front bay layout. Two Intel Xeon Bronze 3204 processors run at 1.9 GHz with six cores each and 8.25 MB cache. Sixty-four gigabytes of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller are installed.

Suits storage-heavy workloads

This configuration fits archives, backup repositories or media libraries that need up to twelve large SATA drives in a single chassis. Buyers who want more than twelve bays or require a different drive interface should look at other platforms. The integrated GPU covers basic console output only.

Twelve 3.5-inch SATA bays define capacity

The chassis accepts exactly twelve 3.5-inch SATA hard drives and ships with no drives installed. A 10 GbE two-port 562T adapter and dual 1100 W power supplies are fitted. iDRAC9 Enterprise provides full remote management.

Questions about this item

How does the 1.9 GHz base frequency of the two Xeon Bronze 3204 processors affect throughput in a live workload?

Each 3204 chip has six cores running at 1.9 GHz with 8.25 MB cache, giving twelve threads total for multi-threaded tasks such as virtualization or database serving.

What does the PERC H730P controller limit when driving the twelve 3.5-inch SATA bays?

The H730P manages RAID across the twelve SATA bays using its onboard processor and cache, capping array performance to the controller’s throughput and the SATA link speed.

What clearance and rail depth does the 36 x 24 x 10 inch chassis require for installation?

The unit is a 2U rack-mount server measuring 36 inches deep, 24 inches wide and 10 inches high, so it needs a four-post rack with at least 36 inches of usable rail depth.
