Purpose-built storage server
The Dell PowerEdge R740xd chassis holds up to 12 large-form-factor drives in a 2U rack footprint, making it a dense platform for capacity-focused workloads such as backup repositories, media archives or software-defined storage clusters. Dual Xeon Silver 4116 processors at 2.1 GHz deliver 24 total cores and 64 GB of DDR4 ECC memory for multi-threaded throughput.
Controller and networking ready
A PERC H730P RAID controller is installed to manage the SATA drive bays with hardware RAID levels and cache protection. The system also ships with a dual-port 10 GbE 562T adapter for high-speed fabric connectivity and an iDRAC9 Enterprise licence for full out-of-band management, monitoring and remote console access.
Verify rack space and drive plan
Confirm the 36 x 24 x 10 inch enclosure fits your rack depth and weight budget before ordering. No drives are included, so select compatible 3.5-inch SATA media and populate the bays to match your capacity and redundancy requirements. Dual 1100 W power supplies are fitted; ensure your PDU cords and circuit capacity match the load.

Questions about this item
When will the PERC H730P RAID controller battery need replacement?
The PERC H730P includes a RAID battery that typically lasts three to five years; the iDRAC9 Enterprise dashboard will alert you when the battery health drops below the replacement threshold.
What thermal limit appears first when both Xeon Silver 4116 processors run at 2.1GHz continuously?
The dual 1100W power supplies and system fans are sized for the 24-core combined TDP; under sustained load the exhaust temperature rises until the firmware throttles the CPUs to stay within the chassis thermal envelope.
How loud are the fans when the server runs 24/7 with twelve 3.5-inch drives installed?
With twelve drive bays populated the system fans ramp higher to move air through the dense layout; iDRAC9 lets you monitor real-time fan RPM and inlet temperature so you can balance acoustics against cooling headroom.
