Server chassis for dense 3.5-inch storage

This Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack-mount server system designed for workloads that demand high-capacity 3.5-inch drive bays. It ships with dual Xeon Silver 4114 processors running at 2.2GHz and 1TB of DDR4 ECC registered memory, ready for virtualisation, database or bulk-storage deployments. The integrated PERC H730P RAID controller manages up to twelve hot-plug bays, and dual 1100W supplies provide redundancy.

Suits teams needing twelve-bay density

Organisations that want a 12-bay 3.5-inch platform with iDRAC9 Enterprise licensing and a 10GbE two-port 562T adapter will find the configuration aligned. Buyers who require GPU acceleration, a smaller form factor or installed operating-system drives should evaluate other platforms.

Twelve 3.5-inch drive bays define the storage

The chassis supports a maximum of twelve 3.5-inch SATA drives, so the total raw capacity is bounded by the number and size of drives you install. No drives are included, so storage planning starts from zero.

Questions about this item

Will the dual Xeon Silver 4114 CPUs hit their thermal ceiling before the 1100 W power supplies max out?

The 2x 1100 W supplies provide ample headroom for the two 2.2 GHz 10-core Xeon Silver 4114 processors; thermal limits are reached well before the PSUs saturate.

How loud are the fans when the PERC H730P and twelve 3.5″ drives run 24/7?

Dell's iDRAC9 Enterprise monitors inlet temperature and spins fans only as fast as needed, so a fully populated 12-bay chassis stays within data-centre noise norms.

Which rail kit do I need to mount the 36×24×10 in chassis in a standard rack?

The R740xd uses Dell's sliding ReadyRails II kit; order the matching rail kit separately to secure the 40 lb server in a 4-post rack.
