Dell PowerEdge R740xd 12-Bay Server
The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server fitted with twelve 3.5-inch drive bays. Two Intel Xeon Platinum 8268 processors run at 2.9 GHz with 24 cores each. The system includes 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller.
Suits storage-heavy workloads needing dense
This configuration serves databases, backup targets and virtualisation hosts that benefit from high core counts and large memory. Buyers who need flash-optimised bays or GPU acceleration should look elsewhere because the chassis provides only SATA backplane connectivity and integrated graphics.
Twelve 3.5-inch drive bays define the storage
The R740xd chassis supports up to twelve large-form-factor drives on a SATA interface. Maximum memory capacity reaches 3 TB across the available DIMM slots. Dual 1100 W power supplies and an iDRAC9 Enterprise licence complete the platform.

Questions about this item
What 3.5-inch drives must I already own to populate the 12 LFF bays?
The chassis provides 12 3.5-inch SATA bays; any SATA HDD or SSD in that form factor will connect directly to the PERC H730P controller.
How do the 2.9 GHz Xeon Platinum 8268 CPUs share a chassis with older DDR4-based servers?
Both processor families use the same socket and DDR4 ECC registered memory, so the R740xd can sit alongside earlier Xeon servers without changing DIMM type.
How can I confirm the iDRAC9 Enterprise licence is active after setup?
Open the iDRAC web interface; the dashboard shows Enterprise features such as virtual console and remote firmware update enabled.
