Dell PowerEdge R740xd 12-Bay Server

This Dell PowerEdge R740xd rack server is built for organisations that need high-capacity local storage in a dense 2U form factor. It ships with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8268 processors and 768GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory installed.

Ideal for database and archive workloads

The twelve 3.5-inch drive bays suit teams that run large relational databases, backup targets or media archives on spinning media or SATA SSDs. Buyers who require a smaller chassis, fewer drive slots or GPU-accelerated compute should consider a different platform.

PERC H730P RAID controller with 2GB cache

The installed Dell PERC H730P hardware RAID controller manages up to twelve SATA drives and provides 2GB of dedicated cache for write acceleration. Confirm that your storage plan uses SATA drives compatible with this controller before ordering.

Questions about this item

How can I verify both Xeon Platinum 8268 processors are recognised at 2.9 GHz after installation?

During POST or in the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface, confirm that two CPUs are detected and each reports 24 cores running at 2.9 GHz with 35.75 MB cache.

What components are already installed and which drive parts must be sourced separately?

The server arrives with 2x Xeon Platinum 8268 CPUs, 768 GB DDR4 ECC Registered RAM, PERC H730P RAID controller, 2x 1100 W power supplies and a 10 GbE 2-port 562T adapter; no 3.5" drives or rail kit are included.

Which drive bay count matches a workload needing maximum 3.5" capacity in this chassis?

Choose the 12 LFF configuration; it provides twelve 3.5" bays, the highest density this R740xd model supports.
