DELL PowerEdge R740xd 12LFF 2x Xeon Gold 6140 256GB DDR4

Dell PowerEdge R740xd 12-bay server

This 2U rack-mount server ships with dual Intel Xeon Gold 6140 processors running at 2.3 GHz, 18 cores each, and 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It supports up to 3 TB of RAM and holds twelve 3.5-inch SATA drive bays backed by a PERC H730P RAID controller. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise, and dual 1100 W power supplies are installed.

Suited for dense storage workloads

The twelve-bay chassis and large memory ceiling make this platform a fit for database servers, backup targets or software-defined storage clusters that need internal capacity and dual-socket compute. Buyers who require GPU acceleration, all-flash-only architectures or a smaller 1U footprint should evaluate other platforms.

Twelve 3.5-inch drive bays define capacity

With no drives included, the usable storage is determined entirely by the SATA drives you populate across the twelve bays. This single constraint decides whether the system meets your capacity and throughput requirements.
