12-bay rack server for storage workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd chassis holds up to 12 3.5-inch drives and ships with a single Xeon Silver 6130 processor at 2.1GHz with 16 cores and 22MB cache. 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory is installed. The PERC H730P RAID controller manages SATA storage arrays.

Sustained compute with single-socket headroom

One Xeon Silver 6130 delivers 16 cores for continuous multi-threaded tasks such as virtualisation hosts or database nodes. The board supports a second processor to double thread count when workloads grow. Memory capacity reaches 3TB across DDR4 slots for large in-memory datasets.

Dual 1100W supplies and iDRAC9 remote management

Redundant 1100W power supplies share load during normal operation. Integrated iDRAC9 Enterprise provides out-of-band monitoring and firmware updates without host OS involvement. A 10GbE 2-port 562T adapter handles network traffic while the system runs in a 36 x 24 x 10 inch rack footprint.

Questions about this item

How much power do the dual 1100W supplies draw when the R740xd runs a full 12-bay load all day?

The system ships with two 1100W power supplies; actual draw depends on the drives and workload you install.

Which drives and cables must I provide to populate the 12 3.5-inch bays on this R740xd?

You need up to twelve 3.5-inch SATA drives; the PERC H730P controller and backplane cabling are already installed.

Will my existing DDR4 ECC registered modules work alongside the 256GB already installed in this R740xd?

Yes, the server uses DDR4 ECC registered memory and supports up to 3TB total across its DIMM slots.
