12-Bay 3.5" Server for Dense Storage

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server populated with twelve 3.5-inch drive bays, a single Xeon Gold 6134 processor at 3.2GHz and 64GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It ships with a PERC H730P RAID controller, dual 1100W power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management. No drives are installed, allowing the buyer to choose capacity and redundancy.

Suits Capacity-Focused Workloads.

This platform fits buyers who need high spindle-count storage in a standard rack form factor, such as backup repositories, video surveillance archives or software-defined storage clusters. The single-socket configuration and integrated graphics limit compute density, so buyers who want GPU acceleration, all-flash performance tiers or a smaller 1U footprint should evaluate other platforms.

Twelve 3.5-Inch Bays Define the Storage Ceiling

The chassis provides exactly twelve 3.5-inch SATA bays backed by the PERC H730P controller, so the maximum raw capacity is set by the number and size of drives the buyer installs. Memory can scale to 3TB and a second Xeon 6134 can be added, but the bay count remains the fixed constraint that decides whether this server matches the storage target.

Questions about this item

What rack depth does the 36-inch deep PowerEdge R740xd need?

The chassis is 36 inches deep, so the rack must provide at least 36 inches of usable depth plus cable clearance at the rear.

Which drive bays are populated during installation of the 12 LFF chassis?

The 12-bay 3.5-inch backplane ships empty; install drives in any bay, but the PERC H730P requires matching drive types per virtual disk.

When should the two 1100 W power supplies be replaced?

Replace a unit immediately if iDRAC9 reports a fault LED or the system logs a power-supply predictive failure alert.
