Server for dense storage workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd chassis holds twelve 3.5-inch drive bays and ships with two Xeon Silver 4116 processors running at 2.1GHz, 384GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory, and a PERC H730P RAID controller. Dual 1100W power supplies and an iDRAC9 Enterprise licence provide redundant power and full remote management. No drives are installed, so storage capacity is defined by the drives you add.

Suits buyers building a high-capacity archive

This configuration is not for buyers who need all-flash performance, GPU compute, or a smaller 2U footprint with fewer drive bays. It also does not suit teams that require drives pre-installed or a single-processor layout to reduce licensing costs.

Twelve 3.5-inch bays set the storage ceiling

The 12-bay LFF chassis is the single specification that decides whether this server matches the project; if the workload needs more than twelve large-form-factor drives or requires 2.5-inch density, a different chassis is required.

Questions about this item

Will the PERC H730P RAID controller recognise my existing 3.5" SATA drives in the 12-bay chassis?

The H730P controller supports SATA drives and the chassis provides twelve 3.5-inch bays, so your current drives will be detected and can be configured in RAID arrays.

How can I confirm both Xeon Silver 4116 processors and all 384 GB of DDR4 ECC memory are active after installation?

Check the iDRAC9 Enterprise dashboard or the BIOS System Information screen; both will list two CPUs at 2.1 GHz and show 384 GB of registered DDR4 memory.

Does the server ship with drive caddies, rails and the 10 GbE 562T adapter, or must I order them separately?

The unit includes two 1100 W power supplies, the PERC H730P controller and the 10 GbE 562T adapter; drive caddies and rail kits are not included and must be purchased separately.
