High-density 12-bay storage server
The Dell PowerEdge R740xd 12LFF chassis supports up to twelve 3.5-inch SATA drives for local capacity scaling. Dual Xeon Platinum 8160 processors deliver 24 cores per CPU at 2.1GHz with 33MB cache each. One terabyte of DDR4 ECC registered memory is installed and the platform can expand to 3TB total.
Capacity headroom and limits
Twelve drive bays provide substantial raw storage headroom for archival, backup or software-defined storage workloads. The PERC H730P RAID controller manages redundancy across the array. Memory headroom reaches 3TB for in-memory databases or virtualisation density. No drives ship with the unit so usable capacity starts at zero.
Build integration requirements
The 2U rack form factor (36 x 24 x 10 in) fits standard cabinets and includes dual 1100W supplies for redundancy. A 10GbE 2-port 562T adapter handles high-throughput networking. iDRAC9 Enterprise enables remote lifecycle management without a local console. Integrated graphics cover basic display needs; no discrete GPU is present.

Questions about this item
Will the 12-bay 3.5-inch chassis and SATA interface accept the mechanical drives I already own?
Yes, the twelve 3.5-inch bays connect through the SATA backplane and the PERC H730P controller, so existing SATA hard drives can be installed directly.
How can I confirm the dual Xeon Platinum 8160 processors and 1 TB of DDR4 are recognised after first boot?
Open the iDRAC9 Enterprise web interface or enter the BIOS; both will show two CPUs at 2.1 GHz with 24 cores each and 1 TB of DDR4 ECC registered memory.
Which components ship inside the box and which must be ordered separately?
The server arrives with two Xeon Platinum 8160 CPUs, 1 TB DDR4, PERC H730P RAID controller, dual 1100 W power supplies and the 10 GbE 562T adapter; drive carriers are present but no hard drives are included.
