Dell PowerEdge R740xd 12LFF dual Xeon server

This 2U rack server ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4110 processors running at 2.1GHz and 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis provides twelve 3.5-inch drive bays and includes a PERC H730P RAID controller for SATA storage arrays. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 with an Enterprise licence.

Suited for storage-dense workloads needing

Organisations building on-premise file archives, backup targets or software-defined storage clusters will match the twelve-bay capacity with the installed CPU and memory resources. Buyers who need a compact 1U form factor, GPU acceleration, or more than two processor sockets should evaluate alternative platforms.

Twelve 3.5-inch drive bays define the storage

The 12LFF chassis limits raw capacity to twelve SATA hard drives or SSDs; no additional internal bays exist. If the deployment requires more than twelve drives, a different chassis or external enclosure must be sourced.

Questions about this item

What comes with the Dell PowerEdge R740xd 12LFF server and what must be purchased separately?

The server ships with two Xeon Silver 4110 processors at 2.1GHz, 256GB DDR4 ECC registered memory, a PERC H730P RAID controller, a 10GB 2-port 562T Ethernet adapter, two 1100W power supplies and rails on request. No 3.5" drives are installed; they must be bought separately.

Which drive capacity should I choose for the 12-bay 3.5" chassis?

The chassis accepts twelve 3.5" SATA drives. Select capacities that match your storage target and the PERC H730P RAID level you plan to use; larger drives reduce bay count needed for a given total.

What does the 256GB DDR4 figure mean for actual workloads?

256GB DDR4 ECC registered memory supports large virtualisation clusters, in-memory databases and heavy multi-threaded applications with headroom to expand to the 3TB maximum using the remaining DIMM slots.
