Dense storage server with dual Xeon Gold 6134
The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack-mount server populated with two Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors at 3.2 GHz and 768 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. Twelve 3.5-inch drive bays provide high-capacity SATA storage, while the PERC H730P RAID controller manages redundancy. Dual 1100 W power supplies and an iDRAC9 Enterprise licence support remote administration. The 10 GbE 562T adapter handles network traffic.
Suited to cold-storage archives and backup targets
Organisations that need maximum 3.5-inch bay density in a 2U chassis will benefit from the twelve-bay layout and large installed memory. The system ships without drives, so buyers who require factory-populated storage or who need GPU compute acceleration should evaluate alternative platforms. The fixed two-socket design also limits future CPU expansion beyond the two installed Gold 6134 processors.
Twelve 3.5-inch bays define the storage ceiling
With twelve large-form-factor bays and a SATA-only backplane, the R740xd caps raw capacity at the number of drives the chassis can hold. Buyers calculating total usable terabytes must plan around this twelve-bay limit and the PERC H730P controller’s RAID capabilities.

Questions about this item
Which drive trays and cables are required to populate the 12 LFF bays?
The chassis accepts twelve 3.5-inch SATA trays; drives and matching cables are not included and must be sourced separately.
Will the PERC H730P RAID controller recognise existing SATA drives from an older array?
Yes, the H730P supports SATA drives and can import a foreign configuration during boot so older volumes appear without data loss.
How can I confirm the 768 GB DDR4 memory and both Xeon Gold 6134 CPUs are detected after first power-on?
Open the iDRAC9 web interface or press F2 at POST; the System Inventory page lists each processor and shows 768 GB total memory.
