Dell PowerEdge R740xd 12-Bay Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server with twelve 3.5-inch drive bays. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 5120 processors at 2.2GHz and 512GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. A PERC H730P RAID controller and dual 1100W power supplies are included.

Suits dense storage workloads

This configuration suits workloads that need high internal capacity, such as backup targets, media archives or software-defined storage clusters. Buyers who need drives installed from the factory or who require more than twelve bays should consider other chassis options.

Twelve 3.5-inch drive bays define capacity

The single specification that decides fit is the twelve-bay 3.5-inch chassis, which sets the maximum number of SATA hard drives the system can hold. Confirm that your storage plan matches this bay count before ordering.

Questions about this item

How much power do the dual 1100W supplies draw when the 14-core Xeon Gold 5120 processors run at full load all day?

Each power supply is rated at 1100W; the server includes two for redundancy, so maximum draw depends on the workload placed on the 2.2GHz CPUs.

Which drive caddies and SATA cables must I already have to populate the 12 front 3.5-inch bays?

The chassis accepts twelve 3.5-inch SATA drives; you will need compatible Dell drive carriers and the PERC H730P controller cables to install them.

Will my existing DDR4 ECC registered modules work alongside the 512GB already installed?

The system uses DDR4 ECC registered memory up to 3TB total; additional modules must match that type and speed to function correctly.
