Rack server with twelve 3.5-inch bays

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack-mount server built around two Intel Xeon Silver 4214 processors running at 2.2GHz. It ships with 512GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller. The chassis supports up to twelve 3.5-inch SATA drives, making it suited for storage-heavy workloads such as backup repositories or media archives. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 with an Enterprise licence.

Sustained load with dual 1100W supplies

Dual 1100W power supplies provide redundancy for continuous operation in a data-centre environment. The two 12-core Xeon CPUs deliver 24 threads total with 16.5MB cache each, allowing steady throughput for virtualisation hosts or database nodes. Integrated graphics and a 10GbE two-port 562T adapter handle console and network traffic without adding discrete cards. Firmware and BIOS are updated to the latest stable release before dispatch.

Verify rack depth and drive carrier supply

The unit measures 36 inches deep, so confirm your rack can accommodate that length before ordering. Drives and drive carriers are not included; you must source compatible 3.5-inch SATA drives and Dell carriers separately. Maximum memory capacity is 3TB across 24 DIMM slots, so plan any future expansion within that limit. Rail kits are available on request but do not ship by default.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the R740xd get with two Xeon Silver 4214 CPUs and dual 1100W power supplies running continuously?

The server uses two 1100W power supplies and dual Xeon Silver 4214 processors at 2.2GHz; under full load the fans ramp up to maintain thermal limits, so expect noticeable airflow noise and heat output typical of a 2U rack chassis.

What drives and caddies do I need to populate the 12 front 3.5-inch bays on this R740xd?

The chassis provides twelve 3.5-inch SATA bays; you must supply your own 3.5-inch SATA hard drives or SSDs plus compatible Dell drive caddies, as no drives are installed.

Will the PERC H730P RAID controller and iDRAC9 Enterprise work with older SATA drives and legacy operating systems I already run?

The PERC H730P supports SATA drives and common RAID levels, while iDRAC9 Enterprise offers remote management; both are compatible with older SATA media and mainstream server operating systems.
