Dense Storage Server
The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built around twelve 3.5-inch drive bays and two Xeon Platinum 8260L processors running at 2.4GHz. It ships with 64GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller but without any drives installed. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise and dual 1100W power supplies are included.
Storage-Focused Deployments
This platform suits teams that need high-capacity SATA storage in a dense 2U form factor and want the flexibility to populate bays with their own drives. Buyers who require more than twelve drive bays, faster storage interfaces than SATA, or a single-processor configuration should consider a different chassis.
Twelve 3.5-Inch Bays
The defining constraint is the twelve-bay 3.5-inch backplane paired with the PERC H730P controller, which determines how many large-capacity SATA drives you can attach and what RAID levels are available.

Questions about this item
How can I verify the 2.4 GHz Xeon Platinum 8260L processors are running correctly after installation?
Use the iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management console to check CPU health, core counts, and firmware versions once the server posts.
What components are included and which must be purchased separately for this 12-bay 3.5-inch chassis?
The unit ships with 2x Xeon Platinum 8260L CPUs, 64 GB DDR4 ECC RAM, PERC H730P RAID controller, 10 GbE 562T dual-port adapter, and 2x 1100 W power supplies; 3.5-inch SATA drives and rail kit are not included.
Which memory configuration should I choose to reach the 3 TB maximum on this DDR4 platform?
Populate all 24 DIMM slots with compatible DDR4 ECC registered modules; the current 64 GB leaves room to scale up to the 3 TB limit.
