Dell PowerEdge R740xd 12-Bay Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server populated with twelve 3.5-inch drive bays and dual Intel Xeon Silver 4108 processors running at 1.8 GHz. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller. No hard drives are installed, so storage capacity is chosen by the buyer.

Suited for dense local storage.

This platform suits organisations that need high-capacity SATA storage in a compact 2U chassis with integrated 10 GbE networking and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management. Buyers who require more than two processors, GPU acceleration, or a 1U form factor should consider other platforms.

Twelve 3.5-inch drive bays define capacity

The single specification that decides fit is the twelve-bay 3.5-inch chassis, which sets the maximum number of SATA drives the system can hold. With 64 GB DDR4 already installed and support for up to 3 TB total memory, the server scales for memory-heavy workloads once drives are added.

Questions about this item

Will the PERC H730P RAID controller need a battery or capacitor replacement later?

The PERC H730P includes a cache-backup module that typically lasts several years; plan to replace it when the iDRAC9 reports a degraded state.

What thermal limit appears first when both Xeon Silver 4108 CPUs run at 1.8 GHz continuously?

The 1100 W power supplies set the ceiling; sustained full-load CPU draw will hit the supply rating before the chassis airflow limit is reached.

How loud are the fans and how much heat does the 12 LFF chassis produce under 24/7 load?

Dual 1100 W supplies and twelve 3.5" drive bays push exhaust temperatures above 40 °C; fan noise rises to a steady datacentre hum rather than a quiet office level.
