DELL PowerEdge R740xd 2U 12 Bay 3.5" 2x Xeon Silver 4110 2.1GHz 8C 256GB DDR4 H730P 12x 6TB

Built for storage density

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server that fits twelve 3.5-inch drives in a two-socket platform. Dual Xeon Silver 4110 processors and 256GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory give it the compute headroom for software-defined storage, virtual desktop infrastructure or service-provider workloads.

When to step up from smaller chassis

A 1U box with eight bays or a tower with limited expansion forces a choice between capacity and redundancy. The twelve-bay layout removes that trade-off, and the PERC H730P controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 so you can match protection level to each dataset without adding external enclosures.

Rack-ready with integrated management

Redundant 750W platinum supplies, ready rails and a front bezel ship installed, so the server drops straight into a standard rack. The X520/I350 daughter card provides two 1GbE and two 10Gb SFP+ ports for storage and management traffic, while iDRAC9 Enterprise gives full out-of-band control over KVM, power and firmware without extra licensing.
