PowerEdge R740xd 12-bay server

This 2U rack system ships with two Xeon Gold 6138 processors running at 2.0 GHz and 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It targets organisations that need dense 3.5-inch storage capacity in a standard rack footprint.

Tool-less rail installation and cabled drive bays

The chassis accepts twelve 3.5-inch SATA drives that slide into front carriers without tools. The PERC H730P RAID controller is pre-fitted; the only common issue is forgetting to order drives separately because none are included.

384 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory installed

This capacity is the deciding factor for workloads such as in-memory databases or virtualisation hosts that need large RAM footprints immediately. Buyers who need the full 3 TB maximum will have to populate the remaining DIMM slots themselves.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the dual Xeon Gold 6138 processors and 384 GB DDR4 memory are detected correctly after installation?

After power-on, open the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface or enter the BIOS setup; both will show two Xeon Gold 6138 CPUs at 2.0 GHz and the full 384 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory.

Which components are already installed and which items such as drives or rail kits must be obtained separately?

The server ships with two Xeon Gold 6138 CPUs, 384 GB DDR4 ECC RAM, a PERC H730P RAID controller, dual 1100 W power supplies and a 10 GbE 562T two-port adapter; 3.5" SATA drives and rail kits are not included.

How do I decide between the 12-bay 3.5" chassis and other capacity options for my storage needs?

This configuration provides exactly twelve 3.5-inch drive bays; choose it when you need maximum 3.5" SATA capacity in a 2U rack form factor.
