Dell PowerEdge R740xd 12LFF Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 12-bay 3.5-inch rack server built for storage-heavy workloads. It ships with two Xeon Platinum 8268 processors and 32GB of DDR4 memory. No drives are installed, leaving all twelve bays available for your choice of SATA media.

Suits storage-focused deployments needing dense

Teams that require pre-populated drives, GPU acceleration, or a smaller 2.5-inch form factor should consider other configurations. The integrated graphics and single PERC H730P controller limit workloads needing discrete compute or multiple RAID domains.

Twelve 3.5-inch drive bays with SATA interface

The chassis accepts up to twelve 3.5-inch SATA drives, making bay count the primary constraint for capacity planning. Drive selection and RAID level on the H730P will determine usable space and redundancy.

Questions about this item

How much rack depth do the 36-inch rails need?

The chassis measures 36 inches deep, so allow at least that much clear rail depth plus cable clearance behind the rear panel.

Which slot does the PERC H730P controller occupy during installation?

The PERC H730P RAID controller installs in the dedicated internal storage slot, not in a standard PCIe riser.

How many 3.5-inch drive bays can be populated later?

The 12LFF chassis supports up to 12 3.5-inch SATA drives, all hot-plug from the front.
