12-bay 3.5-inch Rack Server
The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack-mount server built around a single Intel Xeon Silver 4110 processor running at 2.1 GHz with eight cores. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller capable of managing up to twelve 3.5-inch SATA drives. Remote administration is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise, and dual 1100 W power supplies provide redundancy.
Suited for dense storage workloads
This configuration fits organisations that need a high drive-count platform for backup, archive or software-defined storage clusters using traditional hard drives. The single-socket design and lack of installed drives mean buyers who require dual-processor compute density, pre-populated storage arrays or dedicated GPU acceleration should evaluate alternative chassis.
Twelve 3.5-inch drive bays define capacity
The chassis supports a maximum of twelve 3.5-inch SATA hard drives, which sets the raw storage ceiling for this unit. With no drives included, the buyer must select compatible SATA media to populate the backplane, and the PERC H730P controller will manage the resulting RAID volumes.

Questions about this item
How much heat do the dual 1100W power supplies generate when the R740xd runs at full load all day?
Each 1100W supply delivers up to its rated output; actual heat depends on the drives and CPUs installed, so plan cooling for the combined draw of all components.
Which drive caddies and rails must I already have to populate the 12 x 3.5" bays in this chassis?
The 12LFF chassis accepts standard Dell 3.5" hot-plug carriers; rails are optional and can be requested separately if your rack requires them.
Will the PERC H730P controller recognise older SATA drives I want to reuse from a previous server?
The H730P supports SATA HDDs and SSDs; legacy drives that meet the SATA interface will be detected and can be configured in RAID arrays.
