Dense 12-bay storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd chassis fits twelve 3.5-inch drives in a 2U rack footprint. Dual Xeon Platinum 8160 processors at 2.1 GHz deliver 24 cores and 33 MB cache per CPU. 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller are installed.

Suits capacity-first workloads

This configuration targets archives, backup targets and media libraries that need raw bay count over drive speed. Buyers who want faster flash tiers or fewer but larger bays should look at a different chassis. The 10 GbE 562T adapter is fitted for high-throughput network links.

Twelve 3.5-inch bays decide fit

The 12 LFF drive slots are the single constraint that determines whether this server matches the storage plan. Populate them with SATA drives through the H730P controller to reach the required capacity.

Questions about this item

What drive bays must my chassis provide for the 12LFF configuration to accept 3.5" drives?

The server uses a 12-bay 3.5" LFF chassis; you need twelve front-accessible 3.5" drive slots to populate the 12LFF layout.

Will my existing SATA hard drives work with the installed PERC H730P controller?

Yes, the PERC H730P RAID controller supports SATA hard drives, so any 3.5" SATA drives you keep can be used in the 12-bay chassis.

How can I confirm the two Xeon 8160 processors and 256GB DDR4 memory are recognised after power-on?

Check the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface or the BIOS POST screen; both will show 2 CPUs, 24 cores each, and 256GB DDR4 ECC registered memory.
