Server configuration

This Dell PowerEdge R740xd chassis holds up to 12 3.5" drives and ships with two Xeon Gold 6148 processors running at 2.4GHz. It includes 768GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller. The system is built for storage-dense workloads in a 2U rack footprint.

Dual 1100W supplies

Redundant 1100W power supplies deliver failover protection for continuous operation. Integrated graphics and a 10GbE 562T two-port adapter handle baseline display and network traffic without a discrete GPU. iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management allows out-of-band monitoring and firmware updates.

No drives installed

Storage drives are not included so you can select capacity and speed that match the workload. A rail kit is available on request for rack mounting flexibility. Firmware is updated to the latest stable version and the unit passes full diagnostics before it leaves the facility.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 12 x 3.5" drives in the 12LFF chassis and which step is often missed?

Slide each drive into a front bay until the latch clicks, then create a virtual disk in the PERC H730P controller BIOS before the OS installer will see any volume.

Which components will need replacement first during long-term operation?

The two 1100 W power supplies and the system fans are the only field-replaceable parts rated for hot-swap; DDR4 memory and the Xeon 6148 CPUs are not designed for routine replacement.

What thermal or power limit appears first when both Xeon 6148 processors run at 2.4 GHz continuously?

The 1100 W redundant power supply pair sets the hard ceiling; sustained full-load draw from 20 cores plus 768 GB DDR4 can approach that limit before CPU throttling activates.
