Dual Xeon 4214 12-core server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd arrives with two Intel Xeon Silver 4214 processors running at 2.2 GHz, each providing 12 cores and 16.5 MB cache. With 768 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory installed, the system is sized for virtualisation clusters, database workloads and memory-intensive applications. The 12-bay 3.5-inch chassis supports high-capacity SATA drives for local storage density. This configuration targets IT teams that need immediate compute and memory headroom without waiting for custom builds.

PERC H730P RAID and 10 GbE networking

A Dell PERC H730P RAID controller manages the twelve drive bays, offering hardware RAID levels for data protection and performance. The integrated 10 GbE dual-port 562T adapter provides high-throughput network connectivity for storage replication or VM migration. iDRAC9 Enterprise enables full out-of-band management, remote console access and automated firmware updates. Rail kits are available separately for rack installation. The server ships without drives, allowing buyers to populate bays with their preferred SATA media.

Dual 1100 W supplies and updated firmware

Two 1100 W power supplies deliver redundant power for continuous operation in production environments. BIOS and firmware are updated to the latest stable release before shipment, and each unit undergoes full diagnostics and burn-in testing. The 2U form factor fits standard racks while the cooling design maintains stable thermals under sustained load. Acoustic output remains consistent with enterprise rack expectations. The platform supports up to 3 TB of DDR4 memory for future expansion.
