High-density 12-bay storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd fits twelve 3.5-inch drives in a 2U rack chassis. Dual Xeon Platinum 8160 processors provide twenty-four cores at 2.1GHz for compute-heavy workloads. Integrated iDRAC9 Enterprise enables remote management at scale.

Suited for storage-heavy workloads

This configuration targets users who need maximum local capacity with hardware RAID via the PERC H730P. Buyers requiring pre-populated drives or GPU acceleration should look at alternative builds. The 10GbE 2-port 562T adapter supports high-throughput networking.

Twelve 3.5-inch drive bays decide fit

The chassis accepts up to twelve SATA hard drives, making bay count the primary constraint for capacity planning. Verify that your rack depth and power budget match the 36-inch depth and dual 1100W supplies before ordering.

Questions about this item

How much heat and power should I expect from the two Xeon Platinum 8160 processors running continuously?

The dual 2.1 GHz Xeon Platinum 8160 CPUs each have 24 cores and 33 MB cache; the system includes redundant 1100 W power supplies to handle sustained load.

What drives and caddies do I need to populate the 12 LFF bays?

The chassis supports 12 x 3.5" SATA drives; no drives are installed, so you must supply your own SATA HDDs or SSDs and compatible Dell caddies.

Will my existing PERC H730P RAID configuration import without rebuild?

The installed PERC H730P controller uses the same firmware baseline; foreign-config import is supported so arrays from another H730P can be brought online.
