Dell PowerEdge R740xd 12-Bay Server

This 2U rack server ships with a single Intel Xeon Silver 4110 processor at 2.1GHz and 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It supports a second CPU and up to 3TB of RAM for growth. The chassis holds twelve 3.5-inch SATA drive bays behind a PERC H730P RAID controller. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise.

Verify Rack Space and Power Before Ordering

The unit measures 36 by 24 by 10 inches and weighs 40 pounds, so confirm your rack depth and weight allowance. Two 1100W power supplies are installed; ensure your PDU or circuit can deliver the required current. A 10GbE 2-port 562T adapter is fitted, so check switch port compatibility and cabling. Rails are available on request but not included by default.

Upgrades From Smaller 8-Bay

Moving from an 8-bay chassis adds four extra drive slots for larger arrays without a second shelf. Adding the second processor doubles core count for virtualization or database workloads. The jump is worthwhile when storage density or multi-threaded performance has become the bottleneck on the existing platform.

Questions about this item

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

The chassis has 12 bays for 3.5" SATA drives but no drives are installed; you must add them yourself.

Should I choose the single Xeon Silver 4110 or add a second processor for my workload?

One 2.1 GHz 8-core Xeon Silver 4110 is installed; a second socket is empty and supports another identical CPU if you need more cores.

How much of the 256 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory is usable after the system reserves its share?

All 256 GB is available to the OS; the board supports up to 3 TB so there is ample headroom for future expansion.
