Dell PowerEdge R740xd 12-Bay Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack-mount server equipped with twelve 3.5-inch drive bays, two Xeon Platinum 8160 processors running at 2.1GHz and 768GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. A PERC H730P RAID controller and dual 1100W power supplies are installed, while the iDRAC9 Enterprise licence provides full remote management.

Suits storage-heavy workloads, not GPU compute

This configuration targets buyers who need dense local storage capacity for backup targets, software-defined storage clusters or archive repositories. It is not suited to workloads that require dedicated GPU acceleration, additional CPU sockets beyond the two installed, or memory capacities above the 3TB maximum supported by the platform.

Twelve 3.5-inch bays define storage scale

The single specification that decides fit is the twelve-bay 3.5-inch chassis, which sets the upper limit for raw drive count and therefore total spinning-disk capacity. Buyers needing more drive slots must choose a different chassis, while those needing fewer bays can populate only the slots required.

Questions about this item

How much power do the twin Xeon Platinum 8160 CPUs and 768 GB of DDR4 draw when the R740xd runs 24/7?

Two Xeon Platinum 8160 processors at 2.1 GHz plus 768 GB DDR4 are fed by dual 1100 W supplies; actual draw depends on workload and the drives you add.

Which drives and caddies must I supply myself to populate the twelve 3.5-inch bays?

The chassis accepts twelve 3.5-inch SATA drives; no drives or caddies are installed, so you provide both.

Will my existing PERC H730P RAID configuration import cleanly into this server's controller?

The included PERC H730P controller uses the same firmware baseline, so foreign-config import is supported for H730P arrays.
