PowerEdge R740xd 12-bay 3.5-inch chassis
This Dell PowerEdge R740xd server arrives new in a 12-bay 3.5-inch rackmount chassis. Two Xeon Silver 4216 processors each run at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores and 22 MB cache. The system includes 768 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller. No drives are installed and the unit ships with dual 1100 W power supplies.
Suited for dense storage workloads.
The 12 large-form-factor bays make this platform a fit for backup, archive or software-defined storage clusters that need high capacity per rack unit. The dual-socket layout and large memory pool also support virtualisation hosts with heavy RAM demands. Buyers who require GPU acceleration or a smaller 1U form factor should evaluate other platforms.
12 x 3.5-inch drive bays define capacity ceiling
The single specification that decides fit is the twelve 3.5-inch SATA drive bays backed by the PERC H730P controller. This bay count and form factor set the maximum raw storage the chassis can hold and determine which drive types are physically compatible.

Questions about this item
What drives must I supply to populate the 12 front bays?
You need up to twelve 3.5-inch SATA hard drives or SSDs; the PERC H730P controller manages them in any RAID level you choose.
Will my existing SATA SSDs work with the PERC H730P controller?
Yes — the H730P supports standard SATA SSDs, so drives you already own can be installed directly into the 3.5-inch bays.
How do I confirm the 768 GB of DDR4 memory is recognised and error-free?
After power-on, open the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface and check the Memory Inventory page; it will show all DIMMs at 768 GB with zero correctable errors.
