Chassis capacity

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack-mount server that holds up to 12 front-accessible 3.5-inch drive bays. It targets organisations building dense storage arrays or software-defined infrastructure. Buyers who need a smaller footprint or fewer drive slots should look at other chassis sizes.

Processor core count

A single Xeon Silver 6130 running at 2.1 GHz provides 16 cores and 22 MB cache, with a second socket available for future expansion. The installed 64 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory supports the current workload and can grow to the platform maximum. Systems requiring dual processors from day one must add the second CPU before deployment.

Dual 1100 W supplies

Redundant 1100 W power supplies share the load during normal operation, keeping fan speeds moderate and acoustic output low in typical data-centre aisles. The iDRAC9 Enterprise remote-management module monitors thermal sensors and power draw continuously. Environments without adequate rack airflow may see higher inlet temperatures.

Questions about this item

How does the single 2.1 GHz Xeon Silver 6130 with 16 cores and 22 MB cache perform in a live workload?

The installed processor delivers 16 cores at 2.1 GHz with 22 MB cache; a second socket is available if more throughput is needed later.

What does the PERC H730P controller limit on the 12-bay 3.5-inch SATA backplane?

The H730P manages RAID across the 12 SATA bays and caps each drive to the SATA interface speed.

What physical clearance and mounting hardware does the 36 x 24 x 10 inch chassis require?

The unit measures 36 by 24 by 10 inches and weighs 40 pounds; a rail kit is available on request for rack installation.
