High-density 12-bay rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 12-drive 3.5-inch rack system fitted with two Xeon Gold 6140 processors running at 2.3 GHz and 128 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It targets datacentre teams that need dense local storage capacity and dual-socket compute in a 2U form factor.

Suits storage-heavy workloads.

This configuration suits workloads such as software-defined storage, backup repositories or virtualisation clusters that benefit from twelve hot-swap bays and a PERC H730P RAID controller. It does not suit buyers who require dedicated GPU acceleration, a smaller tower footprint or a single-processor layout.

Dual Xeon Gold 6140 CPUs with 18 cores each

The two Gold 6140 processors deliver 18 cores apiece with 24.75 MB cache per chip, providing 36 total cores for multi-threaded applications. Memory can scale to 3 TB across the DDR4 slots, and the iDRAC9 Enterprise licence enables full remote lifecycle management.

Questions about this item

What 3.5-inch drives must I supply to populate the 12 LFF bays?

The chassis accepts twelve 3.5-inch SATA drives; the PERC H730P controller manages them in your chosen RAID layout.

Will my existing PERC H730P RAID configuration import without rebuild?

Yes — the installed PERC H730P reads existing H730P metadata on the drives you add, so arrays appear immediately after insertion.

How do I confirm the two Xeon Gold 6140 CPUs and 128 GB DDR4 are fully operational?

iDRAC9 Enterprise shows both 18-core processors at 2.3 GHz, all 128 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory, and the dual 1100 W power supplies reporting healthy status.
