DELL PowerEdge R740xd 12LFF 2x Xeon Silver 4208 768GB DDR4 No Drive

12-Bay 3.5" Rack Server with Dual Xeon Silver 4208

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack-mount server built for storage-heavy workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4208 processors running at 2.1GHz and 768GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis provides twelve 3.5-inch drive bays and a PERC H730P RAID controller for large-capacity arrays.

Upgrade from smaller bays or single-socket density

Moving from an 8-bay chassis or a single-processor platform adds both drive slots and compute threads in the same rack height. The jump is worth it when datasets exceed the spindle count or memory ceiling of a smaller node and you need room to grow without adding another server.

768GB DDR4 with headroom to 3TB

The installed 768GB handles sizeable in-memory databases, virtualisation clusters and analytics jobs. Twelve 3.5-inch bays support high-capacity SATA drives for multi-petabyte raw storage. Memory slots remain open for expansion up to 3TB when workloads outgrow the current configuration.
