Dell PowerEdge R740xd 12-Bay Server
The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for storage-dense workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Bronze 3104 processors running at 1.7GHz and 384GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The 12-bay 3.5-inch chassis targets organisations that need high local capacity for backup, archiving or software-defined storage clusters.
12 x 3.5-Inch Drive Bays and PERC H730P
The chassis accepts up to twelve 3.5-inch SATA drives, which are not included and must be sourced separately. A Dell PERC H730P RAID controller manages the array, freeing the CPUs from parity calculations. Dual 1100W power supplies and an iDRAC9 Enterprise licence provide redundant power and full out-of-band remote management for lights-out operation.
384GB DDR4 With Room to 3TB
The installed 384GB of DDR4 handles large working sets and multiple virtual machines comfortably. Memory capacity can scale to 3TB when the workload demands it, though the Bronze 3104’s six cores per socket limit compute throughput for heavily threaded applications. Buyers needing higher clock speeds or more cores per socket should look at other processor options.

Questions about this item
What is the maximum number of 3.5" drives the R740xd 12LFF chassis can hold?
The chassis supports up to 12 3.5" SATA drives, giving you room to scale storage as workloads grow.
How much power do the installed supplies deliver for all-day operation?
Two 1100 W power supplies are fitted, providing redundant power for the dual Xeon Bronze 3104 CPUs, 384 GB DDR4 memory and PERC H730P controller.
Which drive interface must the drives I add use to work with the PERC H730P?
The controller connects to SATA drives, so any 3.5" SATA HDD or SSD you install will be recognised and can be configured in RAID.
