DELL PowerEdge R740xd 12LFF Xeon Gold 6134 3.2GHz 256GB DDR4

12-Bay Dense Storage Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd chassis fits twelve 3.5-inch drive bays into a 2U rack footprint and ships with a single Xeon Gold 6134 processor at 3.2 GHz plus 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It targets IT teams that need high local capacity for backup targets, software-defined storage nodes or archival workloads without expanding rack rows.

Upgrade from Smaller Chassis or Older 13G Platforms

Moving from a 4-bay or 8-bay 13G server adds up to twelve hot-plug SATA bays and the PERC H730P RAID controller in one step, letting you consolidate multiple volumes onto a single node. The jump is worth it when your dataset has outgrown the current bay count and you want to avoid managing extra enclosures or external JBODs.

Dual 1100 W Supplies and 10 GbE Ready

Redundant 1100 W power supplies and an installed 2-port 10 GbE 562T adapter provide the power headroom and network throughput a full complement of drives demands. The iDRAC9 Enterprise licence gives full remote console and lifecycle automation, while the second CPU socket remains open for a future processor upgrade when compute needs grow.
