12-bay 3.5-inch rack server for storage-heavy

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd chassis holds twelve 3.5-inch drive bays and ships with a single Xeon Gold 5120 processor running at 2.2 GHz with 14 cores. 128 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory is installed, and the PERC H730P RAID controller manages storage arrays. Integrated graphics and a 10 GbE two-port 562T adapter handle display and network connectivity.

Verify rack space, power and drive provisioning

The unit measures 36 by 24 by 10 inches and weighs 40 units, so confirm rack depth and weight capacity before ordering. Two 1100 W power supplies are fitted; ensure your PDU and circuit can support the load. No drives are included, so source compatible SATA drives separately and plan the RAID level you need on the H730P controller.

Enterprise-grade chassis with tool-less drive access

The 12-bay front panel uses tool-less carriers for quick drive swaps without removing the server from the rack. Dual redundant power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management allow firmware updates, monitoring and power cycling from anywhere. A rail kit is available on request to simplify installation in standard 19-inch racks.

Questions about this item

Does the server ship with any drives or do I need to buy 3.5" SATA drives separately?

The unit has 12 empty 3.5" bays and no drives installed; you must supply compatible SATA drives yourself.

Should I add a second Xeon Gold 5120 or max out the 3TB DDR4 limit first?

The board takes two CPUs and supports 3TB of DDR4 ECC registered memory; choose based on whether your workload needs more cores or larger memory capacity.

What does the 2.2GHz 14-core Xeon Gold 5120 deliver in a live R740xd with the PERC H730P?

You get 14 cores at 2.2GHz with 19.25MB cache driving the RAID controller, while iDRAC9 Enterprise and dual 1100W supplies handle remote management and power.
