Dell PowerEdge R740xd 12-bay server
The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for storage-heavy workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 5120 processors running at 2.2GHz, each offering 14 cores and 19.25 MB cache. The system includes 64GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and supports up to 3TB total capacity. It is aimed at IT teams needing dense local storage in a standard rack footprint.
PERC H730P RAID controller and 10GbE adapter
A Dell PERC H730P RAID controller manages the twelve 3.5-inch SATA drive bays, providing hardware RAID with cache protection. The installed 562T dual-port 10Gb Ethernet adapter delivers high-throughput networking for replication or client access. iDRAC9 Enterprise enables full remote management, firmware updates and virtual console access without an operating system. No drives are included, so the array layout is defined by the buyer.
Dual 1100W supplies and sliding rails
Redundant 1100W power supplies maintain uptime during a module failure or maintenance swap. The chassis measures 36 x 24 x 10 inches and weighs 40 pounds, fitting standard 19-inch racks with the optional sliding rail kit. Integrated graphics handle local console output without a discrete GPU. The platform supports up to two processors, so the current configuration already reaches the socket maximum.

Questions about this item
Will the 64 GB DDR4 ECC Registered memory need to be replaced or expanded later?
The system holds 64 GB of DDR4 ECC Registered RAM now and can be expanded to 3 TB using the available DIMM slots.
What limit appears first when both Xeon Gold 5120 processors run at 2.2 GHz under sustained load?
The PERC H730P RAID controller and the twelve 3.5-inch SATA drive bays set the practical I/O ceiling before the CPUs reach their thermal envelope.
How much noise, heat or power does the server produce with dual 1100 W supplies running all day?
Dual 1100 W power supplies feed the chassis; exact acoustic and thermal figures depend on the drives and workload you install.
