12-bay 3.5-inch rack server
The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack-mount server system built around two Intel Xeon Gold 6226R processors running at 2.9 GHz. It ships with 32 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller. Twelve 3.5-inch drive bays provide high-density local storage capacity for data-intensive workloads.
Suits virtualisation and storage clusters
This configuration fits organisations that need dual-socket compute with dense 3.5-inch drive bays for virtualisation hosts, software-defined storage nodes or backup targets. The integrated iDRAC9 Enterprise licence enables full remote management. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, single-socket density or 2.5-inch bay layouts should evaluate other platforms.
Dual Xeon Gold 6226R 16-core CPUs
The decisive specification is the pair of 16-core Xeon Gold 6226R processors, delivering 32 cores and 22 MB cache per chip at 2.9 GHz. This CPU choice sets the performance ceiling for multi-threaded applications and determines licensing costs for per-core software. Verify that the core count and clock speed match your workload requirements before purchase.

Questions about this item
How much power do the dual 1100W supplies draw when the R740xd runs continuously under load?
The server ships with two 1100W power supplies; actual draw depends on the drives and workload you install, so plan for up to the rated capacity per supply.
Which drive caddies and SATA cables must I supply to populate the 12 3.5-inch bays?
The chassis provides 12 3.5-inch bays and a PERC H730P controller with SATA support; you must supply compatible 3.5-inch drive caddies and SATA drives.
Will the PERC H730P RAID controller recognise the SATA SSDs I already use in older PowerEdge servers?
The H730P supports SATA SSDs; create a new virtual disk on the controller to use your existing drives in this R740xd.
