Dell PowerEdge R740xd 12-bay server

This 2U rack system ships with two Xeon Silver 6130 processors running at 2.1GHz and 1.5TB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It targets organisations that need dense local storage and strong multi-threaded compute for virtualisation, databases or backup targets.

Twelve 3.5-inch drive bays

The chassis accepts up to twelve SATA hard drives so you can build large arrays without external enclosures. A 10GbE 562T two-port adapter and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management are fitted, simplifying network integration and out-of-band administration.

Dual 1100W power supplies and integrated graphics

Redundant power supplies support continuous operation while the integrated GPU handles console output without a discrete card. The 36 by 24 by 10 inch form factor weighs 40 units and fits standard racks, keeping thermal load predictable for typical data-centre workloads.

Questions about this item

How many 3.5-inch drive bays does the R740xd 12LFF chassis support and what interface do they use?

The chassis supports up to 12 bays for 3.5-inch drives using the SATA interface through the PERC H730P RAID controller.

What are the exact dimensions and weight of this server for rack planning?

The unit measures 36 by 24 by 10 inches and weighs 40 pounds, fitting a standard 2U rack space.

What steps are required to install the server and what is the common oversight?

Mount the rack rails, slide the server in, connect power and the 10GbE 562T adapter, then configure the PERC H730P RAID arrays before installing an OS; many forget to create the virtual disks first.
