Dual Xeon Silver 4214 Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack-mount server built for dense storage workloads. It arrives with two Intel Xeon Silver 4214 processors running at 2.2GHz, each providing 12 cores and 16.5MB cache. A total of 384GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory is installed across the available slots. This configuration targets organisations that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a compact chassis.

Twelve 3.5-inch Drive Bays

The defining specification is the 12-bay large-form-factor chassis that accepts 3.5-inch SATA hard drives. No drives are installed, so buyers select capacity and spindle speed to match their dataset. A Dell PERC H730P RAID controller manages the array and supports hardware RAID levels for redundancy and performance. This bay count is the primary factor when deciding if the system fits the storage density requirement.

Ready for Rack Integration

Dual 1100W power supplies provide redundancy for continuous operation. An integrated 10GbE two-port 562T adapter handles high-throughput network traffic without an extra card. The iDRAC9 Enterprise licence enables full remote management, monitoring and firmware updates over a dedicated interface. A rail kit is available on request to secure the 36-inch deep unit in a standard rack.

Questions about this item

How does the 384GB DDR4 memory capacity translate to real-world virtualization performance?

With 384GB of DDR4 ECC Registered memory installed across two Xeon Silver 4214 processors, this configuration supports dense virtual machine consolidation and large in-memory databases, utilizing the full 16.5MB cache per CPU for reduced latency.

What storage throughput ceiling does the PERC H730P controller impose on the 12 SATA drive bays?

The PERC H730P RAID controller manages all 12 LFF 3.5-inch SATA bays with hardware RAID acceleration, providing consistent IOPS for mixed read/write workloads across the full drive array.

What are the exact chassis dimensions and weight for rack mounting planning?

The unit measures 36 x 24 x 10 inches and weighs 40 units, requiring a standard 4-post rack with sufficient depth clearance and weight-bearing capacity for the dual 1100W power supplies.
