Dense 3.5" storage server
The Dell PowerEdge R740xd chassis holds twelve 3.5-inch drive bays in a 2U rack footprint. Two Xeon Silver 4216 processors at 2.1 GHz provide sixteen cores each with 22 MB cache. Sixty-four gigabytes of DDR4 ECC registered memory are installed, and the PERC H730P RAID controller manages SATA drives.
Suits capacity-focused workloads
This configuration targets buyers who need high drive density for backup, archive or software-defined storage clusters. The dual 1100 W supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise licence simplify remote operations. Buyers requiring PCIe flash tiers, GPU acceleration or fibre-channel connectivity should evaluate alternative platforms.
Twelve-bay 3.5" chassis decides fit
The fixed twelve-bay 3.5-inch layout determines whether the server matches your rack space and storage-volume plan. No drives are included, so the final capacity depends entirely on the SATA disks you add.

Questions about this item
What thermal limit will the 2.1 GHz Xeon Silver 4216 hit first when all 16 cores run flat out?
The dual 1100 W power supplies and chassis airflow are sized to keep the 4216 within its TDP envelope during sustained full-core workloads.
How loud and hot does the 12-bay R740xd get with both 1100 W supplies loaded 24/7?
Dual 1100 W units share the load, letting fans run at lower RPM; iDRAC9 Enterprise lets you monitor inlet temperature and fan speed remotely.
Which drive trays and caddies must I already have to populate the 12 LFF bays?
The chassis accepts 12 x 3.5" SATA drives; you need Dell 3.5" hot-plug carriers that match the PERC H730P backplane.
