DELL PowerEdge R740xd 12LFF 2x Xeon Silver 4216 512GB DDR4 No Drive

12-Bay Rack Server with Dual Silver CPUs

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 12-bay 3.5-inch rack server built for storage-heavy workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4216 processors running at 2.1 GHz and 512 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. A PERC H730P RAID controller and a 10 GbE 562T dual-port adapter are installed. No drives are included, so you populate the bays to match capacity and redundancy needs.

Suits Dense Storage Clusters, Not GPU Compute

This chassis targets buyers who need many large drives in 2U — backup repositories, video surveillance archives, or software-defined storage nodes. The integrated graphics and lack of GPU riser space make it unsuitable for GPU-accelerated workloads, VDI render farms, or AI training. Teams needing single-thread speed or PCIe 4.0 peripherals should evaluate newer platforms.

512 GB DDR4 Installed, Expandable to 3 TB

The system arrives with 512 GB of DDR4 ECC RDIMM populated across the available slots. Maximum supported capacity is 3 TB when all DIMM slots are filled with compatible modules. Verify your application's memory footprint before ordering additional sticks.
