  • PERC H730P RAID controller with 2 GB cache for data protection
  • iDRAC9 Enterprise licence for remote server management

Built for dense local storage

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd chassis fits twelve 3.5-inch drive bays in a 2U rack frame. A single Xeon Silver 4210 processor with ten cores at 2.2 GHz and 256 GB of DDR4 ECC memory handles database or virtualisation workloads that need capacity on-site.

Dual 1100 W supplies share the load

Redundant power supplies keep the system running if one unit fails. The PERC H730P RAID controller manages up to twelve SATA drives while the integrated graphics and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management draw minimal extra power under normal operation.

Add drives and a second CPU to match the workload

No drives are installed so you choose the exact SATA capacity and redundancy level. A second processor socket is free for future growth, and the 10 GbE 562T dual-port adapter is already fitted for high-throughput networking.

Questions about this item

How do I install drives into the 12 LFF bays and which step is often missed?

Slide each 3.5" SATA drive into the front hot-plug carriers until the latch clicks, then configure the PERC H730P RAID arrays in the controller BIOS before the OS sees the volumes.

What maintenance will the 256GB DDR4 memory and PERC H730P controller need later?

DDR4 ECC modules require no scheduled service; the H730P cache battery should be checked after several years and replaced if the controller reports a degraded state.

Which limit appears first when the Xeon Silver 4210 runs sustained workloads?

The single 10-core 2.2GHz processor reaches full utilisation before the 3TB memory ceiling or dual-socket capacity becomes a factor.
