Dell PowerEdge R740xd 12-bay rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server fitted with twelve 3.5-inch drive bays. Two Intel Xeon Silver 4108 processors at 1.8 GHz and 512 GB of DDR4 ECC memory are installed. A PERC H730P RAID controller and dual 1100 W power supplies are included.

Suits storage-dense workloads

This configuration suits buyers who need maximum internal drive count in a 2U form factor. It is not for buyers who want drives included, who need a smaller chassis, or who require GPU-accelerated compute.

Twelve 3.5-inch drive bays define capacity

The single specification that decides fit is the twelve-bay 3.5-inch chassis. If your storage plan needs more bays, a 2.5-inch form factor, or external JBOD expansion, this server will not meet that requirement.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management is active after the server boots?

The iDRAC9 Enterprise license is pre-installed; connect to its dedicated network port and log in to verify firmware version and system health.

Which drives and rail kit must I purchase separately for the 12-bay 3.5-inch chassis?

The server ships with no drives installed and the rail kit is available on request; add up to twelve 3.5-inch SATA drives and order the rails if needed.

Should I choose the PERC H730P controller for RAID 10 across twelve 3.5-inch bays?

The H730P supports RAID 10 across all twelve bays and includes 2 GB cache, making it suitable for high-redundancy storage arrays.
