DELL PowerEdge R740xd 12LFF 2x Xeon Silver 4210 1536GB DDR4 rack server

12-Bay 3.5-Inch Rack Server

This Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack-mount server populated with two Intel Xeon Silver 4210 processors running at 2.2 GHz. It ships with 1536 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller. The chassis provides twelve 3.5-inch drive bays for SATA storage. iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management is included.

Suits Dense Storage Workloads

The configuration targets buyers who need high internal capacity in a standard rack footprint, such as backup repositories, media archives or software-defined storage clusters. Dual 1100 W supplies and the 10 GbE 562T adapter support continuous operation. Organisations that require front-access 2.5-inch bays, GPU compute density or a smaller 1U form factor should evaluate alternative platforms.

Twelve 3.5-Inch Drive Bays Define Capacity

The single specification that decides fit is the twelve 3.5-inch drive bay count, which sets the maximum raw storage ceiling for this chassis. Each bay accepts SATA hard drives or SSDs managed by the H730P controller. If the deployment needs more than twelve large-form-factor drives, a different server or external enclosure is required.
