DELL PowerEdge R740xd 12LFF 2x Xeon Gold 6226 32GB DDR4

Dell PowerEdge R740xd 12LFF Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for storage-dense workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6226 processors at 2.7GHz and 32GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis provides twelve 3.5-inch drive bays for high-capacity SATA storage. This configuration suits organisations that need local capacity for databases, backups or virtualisation hosts.

Build integration with PERC H730P and 10GbE

A Dell PERC H730P RAID controller manages the twelve drive bays and supports hardware RAID levels for data protection. Dual 1100W power supplies deliver redundancy for continuous operation. An integrated 10GbE two-port 562T adapter provides high-throughput networking without consuming a PCIe slot. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise for out-of-band control and monitoring.

Sustained load behaviour with dual Xeon Gold 6226

Each Xeon Gold 6226 contributes twelve cores and 19.25MB cache, giving twenty-four threads for parallel workloads. The DDR4 memory subsystem supports up to 3TB when fully populated for memory-intensive applications. Dual power supplies and the PERC H730P cache maintain operation during component failure. The server targets workloads that prioritise storage density and multi-threaded throughput over single-thread speed.
