Dell PowerEdge R740xd 12-bay rack server
This Dell PowerEdge R740xd chassis fits twelve 3.5-inch drives in a 2U form factor. Two Intel Xeon Silver 4114 processors run at 2.2 GHz with ten cores each. The system ships with 96 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across six 16 GB modules. A PERC H730P RAID controller and dual 1100 W power supplies are installed.
Storage-heavy workloads and dense archiving
The twelve large-form-factor bays suit backup repositories, media archives or surveillance storage that prioritise capacity over speed. Buyers who need twenty-four drive bays or all-flash density should evaluate alternative platforms. No drives are included, so the array must be sourced separately.
PERC H730P RAID controller
The onboard PERC H730P controller manages the SATA drives and provides hardware RAID levels for data protection. It determines which drive configurations and redundancy schemes are available. Confirm the controller matches your storage topology before purchase.

Questions about this item
What rack space and power capacity do I need to install this 2U server with dual 1100W supplies?
The chassis measures 36 x 24 x 10 in and includes two 1100W power supplies, so plan for a 2U rack slot and circuits that can deliver the combined load.
Can I reuse my existing 3.5" SATA drives with the PERC H730P controller in this 12-bay chassis?
Yes, the 12 large-form-factor bays accept 3.5" SATA drives and the PERC H730P RAID controller manages them natively.
How do I confirm the iDRAC9 Enterprise licence and both Xeon Silver 4114 CPUs are active after first boot?
Log into the iDRAC9 web interface — the licence status shows Enterprise and the System inventory lists two Xeon Silver 4114 processors at 2.2GHz.
