DELL PowerEdge R740xd 12LFF 2x Xeon Silver 4215R 256GB DDR4 No Drive

Rack server for dense storage workloads

This 2U rack system ships with twelve 3.5-inch drive bays and dual Xeon Silver 4215R processors running at 3.2 GHz. The 256 GB DDR4 ECC memory supports virtualisation clusters or database nodes that need high core counts. Buyers who require GPU acceleration or single-thread frequency above 3.2 GHz should look elsewhere.

Dual-CPU throughput under continuous load

Two eight-core Xeons deliver sixteen threads each, sustaining 3.2 GHz across all cores when the PERC H730P controller feeds data from the twelve-bay backplane. Memory bandwidth scales with the sixteen 16 GB DDR4 modules populated across both sockets. Workloads that exceed 3 TB of RAM or need more than two sockets will not fit this platform.

Redundant power and remote management

Dual 1100 W supplies share the load while iDRAC9 Enterprise provides out-of-band monitoring and firmware updates without host interaction. Integrated graphics and the 10 GbE 562T adapter handle console and network traffic without extra cards. Environments that demand liquid cooling or single-cord power input are not addressed by this chassis.
