Dell PowerEdge R740xd 12LFF Server
The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon Gold 5218 processors at 2.3GHz and 512GB of DDR4 memory. Twelve 3.5-inch drive bays connect to a PERC H730P RAID controller, and iDRAC9 Enterprise provides remote management.
Suits dense storage workloads
This configuration suits teams that need high local capacity in a compact rack footprint for databases, backups or software-defined storage. Buyers who require more than two sockets or fibre-channel connectivity will need a different platform because the chassis maxes out at two processors and offers only on-board Ethernet.
Twelve 3.5-inch drive bays decide the fit
The single specification that determines suitability is the twelve-bay 3.5-inch chassis served by the PERC H730P controller. If the project needs that many large-form-factor drives behind one RAID card, this server matches; if fewer bays or 2.5-inch forms are required, another model fits better.

Questions about this item
How do I confirm the dual Xeon Gold 5218 processors and 512 GB DDR4 are recognised after powering on?
Check the BIOS POST screen and the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface; both will show two 2.3 GHz CPUs and 512 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory.
What ships inside the 12-bay 3.5" chassis and which parts must I source separately?
The unit includes two Xeon Gold 5218 CPUs, 512 GB DDR4, a PERC H730P RAID controller, a 10 GbE 2-port 562T adapter, dual 1100 W power supplies and rails on request; drives are not installed.
Which drive count matches the 12 LFF front panel?
The chassis provides twelve 3.5" SATA bays, so select up to twelve drives to fill every slot.
