12-Bay Rack Server for Dense Storage

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server equipped with twelve 3.5-inch drive bays, dual Xeon Gold 6226R processors running at 2.9 GHz, and 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It targets organisations that need high local storage capacity in a standard rack footprint for databases, virtualization hosts, or backup repositories.

Verify Rack Space, Power and Network Uplinks

Confirm your rack can accommodate a 36-inch deep chassis and that the facility provides redundant feeds for the two 1100 W power supplies. The onboard 10 GbE 2-port 562T adapter requires compatible switch ports and cabling, while the PERC H730P controller manages only SATA drives installed in the front bays.

Add Drives and Rails to Complete the Build

The server ships without hard drives, so you must populate the twelve bays with 3.5-inch SATA disks to activate the RAID controller and create usable volumes. A rail kit is available separately for secure rack mounting, and iDRAC9 Enterprise enables remote firmware updates, power cycling and console access without a local KVM.

Questions about this item

Does the server ship with drives or rails, or must they be ordered separately?

The chassis has twelve 3.5-inch bays and the listing states no drives are installed. A rail kit is available on request.

Which processor configuration is fitted and how many cores does it provide?

Two Xeon Gold 6226R processors are installed, each with sixteen cores and a 2.9 GHz base speed.

What does the 256 GB DDR4 memory mean for expandability?

Sixteen 16 GB modules fill the current slots; the platform supports up to 3 TB so additional DDR4 ECC registered memory can be added.
