Rack server with twelve 3.5-inch bays
The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack-mount server system built for storage-dense workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon 5118 processors running at 2.3 GHz and 64 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. A PERC H730P RAID controller and a 10 GbE 562T dual-port adapter are installed. No drives are included.
Suited for archive and capacity-focused deployments
This configuration suits buyers who need twelve large-form-factor drive bays for high-capacity SATA storage behind a hardware RAID controller. It is not for buyers who require 2.5-inch bay density, GPU compute slots or a different processor generation. The fixed two-socket limit also rules out future CPU expansion beyond the installed pair.
Twelve 3.5-inch drive bays define the storage
The chassis provides exactly twelve 3.5-inch bays, setting the maximum number of spinning disks or SATA SSDs the server can hold. That bay count is the single specification that decides whether this platform matches a capacity target or whether a different chassis is required.

Questions about this item
How much heat and power do the dual Xeon 5118 CPUs and two 1100 W supplies generate when the R740xd runs 24/7?
Two Xeon 5118 processors at 2.3 GHz and dual 1100 W power supplies deliver high compute density; the 12-bay 3.5" chassis uses redundant cooling fans to manage sustained thermal load.
Which drives and caddies must I supply to populate the 12 front 3.5-inch bays?
The server ships with no drives installed; you provide up to 12 SATA 3.5" drives or SSDs and matching Dell caddies for the 12 LFF slots.
Will my existing PERC H730P RAID configuration import directly into this controller?
Yes, the installed PERC H730P controller recognises existing virtual disks from earlier PERC H730 or H730P arrays, allowing a straight-forward migration.
