Dell PowerEdge R740xd 12-Bay Server
The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack-mount server built for storage-dense workloads. It arrives with a single Xeon Platinum 8160 processor running at 2.1GHz and 24 cores. The system includes 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller. No drives are installed, allowing custom capacity configuration.
Twelve 3.5-inch SATA drive bays
The chassis supports up to twelve 3.5-inch drives using a SATA interface. The PERC H730P controller manages RAID levels across these bays. Network connectivity is provided by a dual-port 10GbE 562T adapter. Integrated graphics handle basic display output. Remote management runs through iDRAC9 with an Enterprise license.
Verify rack space, power and memory expansion needs
The unit measures 36 x 24 x 10 inches and weighs 40 units. Dual 1100W power supplies are installed. A second processor socket is available for future upgrades. Maximum memory capacity reaches 3TB across the remaining DIMM slots. Confirm rail kit requirements and rack depth before ordering.
