12-Bay 3.5-Inch Rack Server

This new Dell PowerEdge R740xd chassis supports twelve 3.5-inch drive bays in a 2U rack-mount form factor. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4210 processors running at 2.2 GHz, each providing ten cores. The system includes 1 TB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller. No drives are installed, allowing custom storage configuration.

Suited for Dense Storage Workloads

Organisations building capacity-oriented arrays, backup targets, or software-defined storage clusters can populate the twelve bays with SATA hard drives. The dual-processor layout and large memory footprint handle concurrent I/O streams and metadata operations. Buyers who need all-flash performance, GPU acceleration, or a 1U footprint should evaluate alternative platforms.

Twelve 3.5-Inch Drive Bays

The defining specification is the twelve-bay 3.5-inch chassis, which sets the maximum raw capacity and physical density of the deployment. Combined with the PERC H730P controller, it determines the RAID topology and throughput ceiling for the installed SATA drives. Confirm that the rack depth and power budget accommodate the 36-inch depth and dual 1100 W supplies before ordering.

Questions about this item

What rack depth and width does the 36 x 24 x 10 in chassis require?

The chassis measures 36 inches deep by 24 inches wide by 10 inches high, so the rack must accommodate at least that footprint and leave space for cable routing at the rear.

How are the two Xeon Silver 4210 processors seated, and what step is often missed?

Both CPUs are factory-installed in the dual-socket board; the step often missed is applying fresh thermal paste and torquing the heatsink retention screws in the specified cross-pattern if you ever remove them.

When should the DDR4 ECC registered memory modules be replaced?

Replace any module that logs correctable ECC errors during POST or iDRAC9 health checks, or when expanding toward the 3 TB maximum using identical DDR4 RDIMMs.
