Dell PowerEdge R740xd 2U 12-Bay Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rackmount server built for storage-dense workloads. It ships with dual Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors, each running at 2.3 GHz with 12 cores. The system includes 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and a PERC H730P controller managing twelve 3.5-inch drive bays.

Suits software-defined storage

This configuration fits environments that need high internal capacity in a compact rack footprint. The twelve 4 TB SATA drives and dual 10 GbE SFP+ ports support scale-out storage clusters. Buyers who need more than two processor sockets, or who require a tower form factor, should consider alternative platforms.

Dual Xeon Gold 5118 CPUs with 24 total cores

The pair of 12-core processors delivers 24 threads at a 2.3 GHz base frequency and 3.2 GHz turbo. The LGA 3647 socket and Intel C620 chipset limit upgrades to a maximum of two CPUs. This core count defines the virtualization density and compute throughput available in this 2U chassis.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the PERC H730P controller is managing the 12x 4TB drives correctly after setup?

Open the controller BIOS during boot or log into iDRAC9 Enterprise to confirm the RAID level, see all 12 drives online, and check that the battery-backed cache reports healthy status.

Which drives, rails and bezel are included, and what must I source separately?

The box contains 12x 4TB 7.2K SATA 3.5" enterprise drives, Ready Rails sliding rails and the front bezel; you will need to add any extra memory modules, SFP+ transceivers for the 10Gb ports or an operating system licence.

Should I choose the 64GB DDR4 2400MHz configuration or plan for the 3TB maximum?

The system ships with 4x 16GB DDR4 2400MHz registered ECC modules occupying 4 of 24 slots; if your workload needs more capacity you can add up to 3TB total using the remaining 20 slots.
