DELL PowerEdge R740xd 12LFF 2x Xeon Silver 6130 2.1GHz 512GB DDR4

Dell PowerEdge R740xd 12LFF Server

This 2U rack server ships with dual Intel Xeon Silver 6130 processors running at 2.1GHz and 512GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It targets organisations that need dense local storage in a standard rack footprint. The chassis supports up to twelve 3.5-inch drive bays for high-capacity hard drives.

Storage capacity and headroom

The PERC H730P RAID controller manages up to twelve SATA drives, giving raw capacity that scales with the drives you install. Twelve bays provide ample headroom for large archives or backup targets, while the 24-drive specification in the supplier data suggests a maximum supported drive count beyond the physical bays. No drives are included, so usable capacity depends entirely on your drive selection.

Thermals, noise and power draw

Dual 1100W power supplies deliver redundancy for continuous operation in a data-centre environment. The 2U form factor uses forced-air cooling tuned for the installed Xeon CPUs and memory population. iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management allows thermal monitoring and fan-speed control without physical access.
