Dense 12-bay rack server for storage-heavy workloads
The Dell PowerEdge R740xd chassis fits twelve 3.5-inch drives in a 2U form factor, giving capacity-focused teams room to scale without spreading across multiple nodes. Dual Xeon Silver 4108 processors at 1.8 GHz and 32 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory provide a balanced baseline for virtualisation hosts, backup targets or software-defined storage clusters. No drives ship with the unit, so the storage tier can be matched to the exact performance and budget requirements of the deployment.
Tool-less rails and front-access bays simplify
The server slides into standard racks on the optional rail kit and all twelve drive carriers pull from the front, letting technicians swap media without unplugging cables or reaching behind the cabinet. The PERC H730P RAID controller is already seated, so array creation begins the moment drives are inserted. Firmware and BIOS arrive pre-updated to the latest stable release, eliminating the usual first-boot update cycle that delays production roll-out.
Dual 1100 W supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise keep
Redundant power modules share the load so a single failure never drops the node, while the integrated 10 GbE 562T adapter sustains high-throughput replication streams without saturating the link. iDRAC9 Enterprise gives remote console, power cycling and telemetry over a dedicated management port, allowing administrators to diagnose thermal trends or rebuild arrays from another site. The platform is validated through full burn-in before it leaves the facility, reducing early-life surprises under continuous duty.

Questions about this item
How can I verify the PERC H730P RAID controller is functioning after installation?
During POST the controller initialisation screen appears; press the indicated key to enter the H730P BIOS utility and confirm both Silver 4108 CPUs, the 32 GB DDR4 memory and any attached SATA drives are detected.
What components are included and which must be sourced separately?
The server ships with two Xeon Silver 4108 processors, 32 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory, a PERC H730P RAID controller, dual 1100 W power supplies and a 10 GbE 2-port 562T adapter; 3.5" SATA drives and rail kit are not included.
Which drive-bay version suits a 12-drive 3.5" SATA deployment?
This R740xd chassis provides exactly 12 LFF 3.5" bays wired to the H730P controller, so it matches a 12-drive SATA configuration without needing a different backplane.
