Rack server with 12 large-form-factor bays

This Dell PowerEdge R740xd arrives as a 2U rack-mount server populated with 12 3.5-inch drive bays and dual Xeon Gold 6138 processors running at 2.0 GHz. Two CPUs deliver 20 cores each, supported by 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller. Integrated graphics, a 10 GbE 562T dual-port adapter and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management are factory-fitted. Two 1100 W power supplies provide redundant power. No drives are installed.

Suited to storage-dense workloads.

Organisations that need high local capacity in a 2U form factor will match the 12-bay chassis and dual-socket compute. Buyers who require GPU acceleration, single-thread performance above 2.0 GHz or a smaller footprint should evaluate alternative platforms. The configuration ships without storage media, so teams must provision their own SATA drives.

12 × 3.5-inch drive bays define capacity ceiling

The single specification that decides fit is the twelve 3.5-inch LFF bays, which set the maximum number of spinning drives or SATA SSDs the system can hold. If the deployment demands more than 12 large-form-factor slots, this chassis cannot satisfy it.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the 2x 1100W power supply run when the R740xd is fully loaded 24/7?

The server uses dual 1100W supplies with redundant cooling; fan speed ramps with CPU and drive load, so sustained 20-core Xeon work will increase airflow and heat output accordingly.

Which drive trays and caddies must I already own to populate the 12-bay 3.5" chassis?

The 12LFF chassis accepts standard Dell 3.5" hot-plug trays; you need twelve compatible caddies to fill every bay.

Will my existing SATA drives work with the PERC H730P controller in this R740xd?

Yes, the H730P supports SATA drives natively, so older SATA HDDs or SSDs can be added directly to the 12-bay backplane.
