Rack server with twelve 3.5-inch bays

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack-mount system built for storage-dense workloads. Two Intel Xeon Silver 6130 processors running at 2.1GHz provide 32 cores and 22MB cache per CPU. 32GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory is installed across two 16GB modules. The chassis accepts up to 12 large-form-factor drives for high-capacity arrays.

Capacity headroom and limits

Maximum memory capacity reaches 3TB when all DIMM slots are populated with supported modules. The PERC H730P RAID controller manages SATA drives in multiple RAID levels for redundancy or performance. Twelve 3.5-inch bays give room for large mechanical disks, but the system ships without any drives installed. Integrated graphics handle basic display output only, so GPU-accelerated compute tasks are not supported.

Thermals noise and power

Dual 1100W power supplies deliver redundancy and headroom for fully populated configurations. The iDRAC9 Enterprise licence provides remote monitoring of temperatures, fan speeds and power draw. Firmware is updated to the latest stable version before shipment and each unit passes a full burn-in test. Rack rails are available on request for installation in standard cabinets.

Questions about this item

Will the 12 3.5-inch drive bays accept the SATA drives I already own?

Yes, the chassis provides 12 bays for 3.5-inch SATA drives and the PERC H730P controller manages them.

How can I confirm the two Xeon Silver 6130 CPUs and 32 GB DDR4 ECC memory are recognised after installation?

Check the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface or the BIOS POST screen; both list each processor at 2.1 GHz and show 32 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory.

Does the server ship with rails and drives, or must I order them separately?

Rails are available on request and no drives are installed; both items need to be purchased separately.
