DELL PowerEdge R740xd 12LFF 2x Xeon Silver 4214 64GB DDR4 No Drive

12-Bay 3.5-Inch Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack-mounted server built around twelve 3.5-inch drive bays. Two Intel Xeon Silver 4214 processors running at 2.2 GHz provide twenty-four total cores with 16.5 MB cache each. Sixty-four gigabytes of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller come pre-installed, while storage drives are not included.

Suits High-Capacity Storage Workloads

This platform suits organisations that need dense local storage in a standard rack footprint, such as backup repositories, media archives or software-defined storage clusters. Buyers who require a smaller rack footprint, a single-processor configuration or a different drive form factor should look at a different platform. The integrated graphics and 10 GbE two-port 562T adapter handle basic display and network needs without additional cards.

Twelve 3.5-Inch Drive Bays Define Capacity

The single specification that decides fit is the twelve-bay 3.5-inch chassis, which sets the maximum raw storage ceiling and physical density. With dual 1100 W power supplies, iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management and an optional rail kit, the server is ready for deployment once drives are selected.
