12-bay 3.5-inch rack server
The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack-mounted server that holds up to twelve 3.5-inch drives. It ships with two Intel Xeon Bronze 3204 processors running at 1.9 GHz and 128 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. A PERC H730P RAID controller and dual 1100 W power supplies are installed. No drives are included.
Suits dense storage workloads; not for GPU compute
This configuration fits organisations that need high local capacity in a 2U form factor for backup, archive or software-defined storage. The integrated graphics and lack of PCIe GPU support make it unsuitable for visualisation, rendering or AI training workloads. Buyers who need more than two processor sockets or a smaller chassis should evaluate other platforms.
Twelve 3.5-inch drive bays define capacity
The chassis provides twelve hot-plug 3.5-inch bays backed by the PERC H730P controller with SATA connectivity. This bay count is the primary factor that determines whether the system can meet a given raw storage target.

Questions about this item
Which drive count should I choose for the 12-bay chassis?
The chassis holds up to 12 x 3.5" drives; populate only the bays you need now and add more later.
What does the dual Xeon Bronze 3204 at 1.9GHz deliver in this server?
Two 6-core CPUs give 12 total cores at 1.9GHz with 8.25MB cache each, suited for virtualization and database workloads.
How does the PERC H730P controller limit the storage interface?
The H730P manages the 12-bay backplane over SATA and provides hardware RAID for the installed drives.
