Server chassis with twelve 3.5-inch bays
The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server that holds up to twelve large-form-factor drives and ships with dual Xeon Silver 4210 processors running at 2.2GHz. It includes 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller. No drives are installed so you can populate the bays with the capacity and speed your workload requires.
Suits storage-heavy workloads needing dense drive
This configuration fits databases, backup targets and media archives that benefit from twelve 3.5-inch bays and hardware RAID. Buyers who want a smaller chassis, fewer drive slots or a single-socket platform should look at a different form factor. The integrated graphics and 10GbE adapter cover basic console and network needs without extra cards.
Twelve 3.5-inch drive bays define the storage
The chassis accepts exactly twelve 3.5-inch SATA drives, so total raw capacity is limited by the number and size of drives you install. If your project needs more than twelve spindles or requires 2.5-inch bay density, this server will not meet that requirement.

Questions about this item
Will the 12 x 3.5" drive bays accept my existing SATA drives?
Yes, the chassis provides twelve 3.5-inch bays wired for SATA and the PERC H730P controller manages them in RAID or JBOD mode.
How can I verify the dual Xeon Silver 4210 CPUs and 256GB DDR4 ECC memory are recognised after first boot?
Open the iDRAC9 web interface or enter the BIOS; both will show two 10-core processors at 2.2GHz and 256GB of registered DDR4.
The listing says no drives are installed — what else must I purchase to make the server operational?
You need to supply 3.5-inch SATA drives; the server already includes two 1100W power supplies, the PERC H730P RAID controller, a dual-port 10GbE 562T adapter, and rail kit is available on request.
