DELL PowerEdge R740xd 12LFF 2x Xeon Silver 4215R 16GB DDR4 rack server

12-Bay 3.5-Inch Chassis Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack-mount server system built for high-density storage workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4215R processors running at 3.2 GHz and 16GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis supports up to 12 large-form-factor drive bays and includes a PERC H730P RAID controller. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 with an Enterprise licence.

Storage-Focused Deployments

This configuration suits organisations that need maximum internal capacity in a standard rack footprint for backup, archive or software-defined storage clusters. Buyers who require GPU acceleration, all-flash performance or a smaller 1U footprint should evaluate alternative chassis designs. The installed memory of 16GB is a starting point; the platform scales to 3TB for memory-intensive applications. Dual 1100W power supplies provide redundancy for continuous operation.

12 x 3.5-Inch Drive Bay Capacity

The single specification that determines fit is the twelve-bay 3.5-inch chassis, which sets the physical limit for spinning-disk density. No drives are installed, so the buyer must populate bays with SATA drives compatible with the PERC H730P controller. Two Xeon Silver 4215R CPUs deliver 16 total cores for parallel storage tasks. The integrated 10GbE 562T adapter supplies high-throughput network connectivity.
