Dell PowerEdge R740xd 12-bay server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server with twelve 3.5-inch drive bays. It ships with two Xeon Silver 4215R processors running at 3.2 GHz and 32 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The PERC H730P RAID controller manages storage. This configuration suits organisations that need dense local storage in a standard rack footprint.

Check power, networking and rail requirements

The unit includes two 1100 W power supplies and a 10 GbE 2-port 562T adapter. Verify that your rack can supply the needed power connections and that 10 GbE cabling matches your switch ports. A rail kit is available on request but not included by default. Confirm rack depth against the 36-inch chassis length before ordering.

Thermals, noise and power draw in normal use

Dual 1100 W supplies provide redundancy and share load during typical operation. The 2U chassis uses multiple system fans that ramp speed based on inlet temperature and CPU utilisation. Under normal workloads fan noise is moderate for a rack environment. iDRAC9 Enterprise enables remote thermal monitoring and power capping without host OS involvement.
