DELL PowerEdge R740xd 12LFF 2x Xeon Silver 4210 192GB DDR4

PowerEdge R740xd 12-bay 3.5" server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack-mount server populated with two Intel Xeon Silver 4210 processors running at 2.2 GHz and 192 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. A PERC H730P RAID controller and a dual-port 10 GbE 562T adapter are installed. The chassis provides twelve 3.5-inch drive bays; no drives are included.

Suits dense storage workloads.

This configuration targets environments that need high local capacity in a compact rack footprint, such as software-defined storage, backup targets or archival repositories. The integrated graphics and absence of GPU expansion slots make it unsuitable for workloads requiring GPU acceleration. Buyers needing a tower chassis or a smaller drive-bay count should consider other form factors.

Twelve 3.5-inch drive bays define capacity potential

The single specification that determines fit is the twelve-bay 3.5-inch chassis, which sets the maximum number of SATA hard drives or SSDs the system can hold. With a 3 TB memory ceiling and dual 1100 W power supplies, the platform can scale compute and memory independently, but total raw storage is bounded by the bay count.
