12-Bay Rack Server for Dense Storage

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd chassis holds up to twelve 3.5-inch drives in a 2U form factor. Dual Xeon Gold 6244 processors run at 3.6 GHz with eight cores each and 24.75 MB cache. Sixty-four gigabytes of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller are installed. Remote management uses iDRAC9 with an Enterprise licence and a 10 GbE two-port 562T adapter is fitted.

Suits teams building high-capacity storage nodes

Organisations that need maximum drive density in a standard rack will match the twelve-bay layout and dual-socket compute. Buyers who want fewer drive bays, a single processor or lower memory capacity should evaluate other platforms. The server ships without drives so storage media must be sourced separately.

Twelve 3.5-inch drive bays define capacity

The chassis supports exactly twelve large-form-factor SATA drives and the PERC H730P controller manages the array. This bay count is the fixed constraint that determines whether the platform fits the storage workload.

Questions about this item

What rack depth and width does the 36 x 24 x 10 in chassis need for the 12 LFF drive bays?

The server measures 36 inches deep by 24 inches wide by 10 inches high and fits a standard 4-post rack with enough clearance for the twelve 3.5-inch bays.

How are the two Xeon Gold 6244 CPUs and 64 GB DDR4 installed, and which step is often missed?

Both processors and the DDR4 ECC registered memory are factory-installed; the step often missed is seating the PERC H730P RAID controller firmware update before adding drives.

When will the PERC H730P controller battery or the 1100 W power supplies need replacement?

The PERC H730P battery typically lasts several years; the dual 1100 W supplies are hot-swap and should be replaced if a fault LED lights or redundancy is lost.
