Dell PowerEdge R740xd 12-Bay Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server populated with two Xeon Gold 6246R processors running at 3.4 GHz and 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It provides twelve 3.5-inch drive bays and a PERC H730P RAID controller for flexible storage configuration. The system includes dual 1100 W power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management.

Suited for dense storage workloads.

This configuration suits organisations that need high local capacity in a compact rack footprint, such as backup targets, software-defined storage nodes or archival repositories. The integrated graphics and lack of installed drives make it unsuitable for workloads requiring dedicated GPU acceleration or immediate out-of-the-box storage capacity.

Verify rack depth, power

Confirm that your rack can accommodate the 36-inch depth and that your facility provides appropriate power connections for dual 1100 W supplies. Select compatible 3.5-inch SATA drives to populate the twelve bays and ensure the PERC H730P controller supports your desired RAID level. Network uplinks use a dual-port 10 GbE 562T adapter, so check switch compatibility.

Questions about this item

Does the 12-bay 3.5-inch chassis require a separate backplane or cable kit to run SATA drives from the PERC H730P?

The PERC H730P controller is installed and the 12-bay 3.5-inch chassis ships with the necessary backplane and cabling for SATA drives.

Can I keep my existing DDR4 ECC registered modules and add them to the 384 GB already installed?

Yes, the server uses DDR4 ECC registered memory and supports up to 3 TB, so additional compatible modules can be added to the 384 GB installed.

How do I confirm the PERC H730P sees all 12 drive bays after installing SATA drives?

During POST open the PERC H730P configuration utility (Ctrl+R) and verify that all 12 physical disks appear with correct capacity and status.
