2U 12-bay rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack-mount server built for storage-dense workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8260L processors running at 2.4GHz and 512GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis supports up to 12 3.5-inch drive bays for high-capacity local storage.

Verify rack space and power

Confirm your rack can accommodate a 36 x 24 x 10 inch 2U unit weighing 40 units. Ensure the facility provides sufficient cooling and dual 1100W power supply connections. The PERC H730P controller manages SATA drives; plan drive selection and RAID level before deployment.

Integrates with iDRAC9 and 10GbE

Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise for out-of-band control and monitoring. A dual-port 562T 10GbE adapter provides high-speed network connectivity. The 12-bay chassis frees internal space for large datasets while the dual CPUs deliver 24 cores per socket for virtualization or database tasks.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and which parts must be purchased separately?

The server arrives with two Xeon Platinum 8260L processors at 2.4GHz, 512GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory, a PERC H730P RAID controller, dual 1100W power supplies, a 10GbE 2-port 562T adapter and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management. No 3.5" drives are installed; they must be bought separately.

How do I choose between the available drive-bay counts for this chassis?

This configuration is the 12-bay 3.5" LFF chassis, which accepts up to twelve SATA hard drives. There is no smaller bay-count option for this unit, so the decision is how many of the twelve bays you want to populate with drives.

What does the 512GB DDR4 memory figure mean for actual workloads?

512GB of DDR4 ECC registered RAM is installed across the two processors, leaving room to expand to the 3TB maximum supported by the platform. The installed capacity suits large virtualisation clusters, in-memory databases or heavy container workloads without immediate upgrades.
