Dense Storage Platform

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd chassis fits twelve 3.5-inch drive bays into a 2U rack footprint. Dual Xeon Gold 6138 processors supply forty cores at 2.0 GHz with 27.5 MB cache each. Sixty-four gigabytes of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller complete the compute base for storage-heavy workloads.

Dual 1100W Redundant Supply

Two hot-plug 1100W power supplies share the load and keep the system running if one unit fails. The 10 GbE 2-port 562T adapter handles high-throughput network traffic without a discrete GPU. Integrated graphics and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management keep idle power draw predictable for dense rack rows.

Twelve Bay Capacity Limit

This configuration maxes out at twelve 3.5-inch SATA drives; builders who need more bays must choose a different chassis. No drives are installed, so buyers who want a ready-to-run array must add storage separately. The two-socket board cannot accept a third processor, capping total core count at forty.

Questions about this item

How do I install the two Xeon Gold 6138 CPUs into this R740xd, and which step is most often missed?

Open the chassis, place each processor into its socket, secure the retention lever, attach the heatsinks, and connect the power cables; the step most often missed is updating the system firmware before first boot.

What maintenance or replacement will the PERC H730P RAID controller need later?

The PERC H730P controller uses a battery-backed cache module that typically requires replacement every few years to maintain write-back performance and data protection during power loss.

What limit appears first when the 12 LFF drive bays run sustained workloads?

With 12 SATA drives and dual 1100W power supplies, the combined power draw and thermal load of a full drive set under continuous I/O is the first constraint you will hit.
