12-bay rack server for storage-heavy workloads
The Dell PowerEdge R740xd 12LFF chassis holds up to twelve 3.5-inch drives and ships with a single Xeon Gold 5120 processor running at 2.2 GHz with 14 cores. 64 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory is installed, and the system supports a second processor for expanded compute capacity. It targets organisations that need dense local storage in a 2U form factor.
PERC H730P controller and 10 GbE adapter included
The integrated PERC H730P RAID controller manages the drive array, while a dual-port 562T 10 Gb Ethernet adapter provides high-speed network connectivity out of the box. iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management is licensed, enabling full out-of-band control, monitoring and firmware updates without an operating system. No drives are installed, so the storage configuration remains entirely open.
2U rackmount design with dual 1100 W supplies
The unit measures 36 by 24 by 10 inches and weighs 40 pounds, fitting standard 19-inch racks with optional rail kits. Redundant 1100 W power supplies maintain uptime during a module failure. Integrated graphics handle basic display output, and the 12 front-accessible bays simplify drive swaps without tools. Buyers needing pre-populated storage or a second CPU must add those components separately.

Questions about this item
How many 3.5-inch drive bays can I populate later when I need more storage?
The chassis supports up to 12 bays for 3.5-inch SATA drives, and the PERC H730P controller manages the RAID arrays you create.
What thermal ceiling will the single Xeon Gold 5120 hit first during continuous heavy workloads?
The 14-core CPU runs at 2.2 GHz with 19.25 MB cache; under sustained load its own thermal design point becomes the limiting factor before the dual 1100 W supplies or memory bandwidth saturate.
How loud are the fans when the server runs 24/7 with both 1100 W supplies active?
Dual 1100 W power supplies and the 14-core processor drive the fan curves; typical idle noise is moderate, but sustained full-load operation raises fan speed and audible output noticeably.
