12-Bay 3.5" Rack Server with Dual Xeon Gold 6152

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack-mount server system built for storage-dense workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6152 processors running at 2.1 GHz, each providing 22 cores and 30.25 MB of cache. The chassis supports up to 12 large-form-factor 3.5-inch drive bays and includes a Dell PERC H730P RAID controller. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 with an Enterprise licence.

Suits storage-heavy clusters; not for GPU compute

This configuration targets buyers who need high internal drive capacity and dual-socket CPU throughput for databases, virtualisation hosts, or backup repositories. The 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and dual 1100 W power supplies support sustained multi-threaded loads. Buyers who require dedicated GPU acceleration, a 1U form factor, or installed drives should evaluate other platforms.

12 x 3.5-inch drive bays define the storage ceiling

The single specification that decides fit is the twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug bays wired to the PERC H730P controller through a SATA interface. Maximum memory capacity reaches 3 TB across the available DIMM slots. Network connectivity includes a dual-port 10 GbE 562T adapter. All firmware is updated to the latest stable version before dispatch.

Questions about this item

What storage drives must I already have to populate the 12 x 3.5-inch bays?

The chassis accepts twelve 3.5-inch SATA hard drives or SSDs; no drives are included so you supply the capacity and speed you need.

Will the PERC H730P RAID controller recognise the 2.1 GHz Xeon Gold 6152 CPUs and 256 GB DDR4 ECC memory at boot?

Yes, the H730P is the factory controller for this R740xd and initialises with the dual 22-core processors and registered DDR4 without extra steps.

How do I confirm iDRAC9 Enterprise is active after the server posts?

Open the iDRAC web interface or front-panel LCD; the dashboard shows the Enterprise licence status and firmware version once the management network is configured.
