12-Bay 3.5-Inch Rack Server
The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack-mount server system built for dense local storage. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 5120 processors running at 2.2GHz and 1.5TB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. A PERC H730P RAID controller and dual 1100W power supplies are installed. No drives are included.
Suits Storage-Heavy Workloads
This configuration fits buyers who need up to twelve 3.5-inch SATA drive bays behind a hardware RAID controller with 2GB cache. It is not for buyers who need 2.5-inch bay density, a single-processor layout, or a chassis shorter than 36 inches. The integrated graphics and 10GbE adapter cover basic management and network needs.
Twelve 3.5-Inch Drive Bays
The defining specification is the twelve-bay 3.5-inch chassis paired with the PERC H730P controller. That combination sets the maximum raw storage ceiling and the RAID levels available. Verify that your drives are 3.5-inch SATA and that the 2U, 36-inch depth fits your rack before ordering.

Questions about this item
What rack depth and clearance does the 36-inch deep chassis need?
The chassis is 36 inches deep and 24 inches wide; allow rear clearance for the two 1100 W power supplies and front clearance for the 12 drive bays.
How are the two Xeon Gold 5120 processors and 1.5 TB of DDR4 memory installed, and what step is often missed?
Both processors are already seated in the two sockets and the 1536 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory is populated across the DIMM slots; the step often missed is verifying that the BIOS and firmware are updated to the latest stable version before first boot.
When will the PERC H730P RAID controller battery need replacement?
The PERC H730P controller uses a backup battery for cache protection; plan to replace that battery module every 3 to 5 years to maintain write-back cache reliability.
