DELL PowerEdge R740xd 12LFF 2x Xeon Gold 6152 512GB RAM No Drive

Rack server with 12 LFF bays

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd chassis holds twelve 3.5-inch drive bays and ships with dual Xeon Gold 6152 processors at 2.10 GHz, each offering 22 cores and 30.25 MB cache. 512 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory is installed across the available slots. A PERC H730P RAID controller manages storage through SATA connectivity, while an Intel 562T dual-port 10 GbE adapter handles networking.

Suits dense storage clusters.

This platform targets workloads that benefit from high spindle count and large memory capacity, such as backup repositories, software-defined storage nodes or virtualisation hosts needing many local disks. Buyers who require an all-flash array or PCIe-attached solid-state performance should look at a different chassis because this platform only lists SATA connectivity. Remote management via iDRAC9 Enterprise simplifies lights-out administration across multiple racks.

12-bay 3.5-inch chassis

The single specification that decides fit is the twelve 3.5-inch drive bays in a 2U form factor, which sets the maximum raw capacity ceiling and determines whether the server can hold the required number of mechanical drives. Power is supplied by redundant 1100 W units and rails are available on request.
