Chassis 12 × 3.5″ drive bays
The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack-mount server built for storage-heavy workloads. Two Intel Xeon Silver 4208 processors run at 2.1 GHz, each with eight cores and 11 MB cache. 64 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory is installed. The PERC H730P RAID controller and dual 1100 W power supplies are fitted as standard.
Suits storage-dense deployments, not GPU compute
This platform targets buyers who need twelve 3.5″ SATA bays behind a single controller for bulk capacity or archiving. It is not suited to workloads that require dedicated GPU acceleration or more than two processor sockets. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise. Network connectivity includes a 10 GbE two-port 562T adapter.
Maximum memory capacity 3 TB
The motherboard supports up to 3 TB of DDR4 when fully populated with larger modules. The current 64 GB configuration leaves substantial headroom for future expansion. Drive bays accept SATA hard drives only; no drives are included in this configuration.
