DELL PowerEdge R740xd 12LFF Xeon Silver 4114 2.2GHz 10C 256GB DDR4

12-Bay 3.5-Inch Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server with twelve 3.5-inch drive bays designed for storage-heavy workloads. It ships with a single Xeon Silver 4114 processor running at 2.2 GHz with ten cores and 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. A PERC H730P RAID controller and dual 1100 W power supplies are installed.

Suits Storage-Dense Deployments

This configuration fits organisations that need high local capacity in a standard rack footprint, such as backup repositories, video surveillance archives or software-defined storage clusters. The single-processor layout and lack of installed drives mean buyers who require dual-CPU compute density or a ready-to-run array should look at alternative configurations.

256 GB Memory with 3 TB Headroom

The installed 256 GB of DDR4 handles virtualisation hosts, database caches and file-service workloads comfortably, while the platform supports up to 3 TB for future expansion. Twelve SATA bays provide substantial raw capacity headroom, though the single CPU and integrated graphics limit GPU-accelerated tasks and heavily threaded compute beyond the ten available cores.
