Dell PowerEdge R740xd 2U 12-Bay Server

This 2U rack server combines dense 3.5-inch drive capacity with dual-processor performance. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 16-core CPUs at 2.1 GHz and 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory. A PERC H730P controller manages twelve 6 TB 7.2K SATA drives for high-capacity storage. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management are included.

Suited for storage-heavy workloads

The twelve-bay chassis and dual 16-core processors make this platform a fit for software-defined storage, virtual desktop infrastructure or service-provider environments. Quad-port networking with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports handles mixed traffic. Buyers who need more than 24 DIMM slots, more than two sockets or all-flash performance should look at a different platform.

12 x 3.5-inch SATA bays with PERC H730P RAID

The single specification that decides fit is the twelve 3.5-inch drive bays connected to a hardware RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. If the deployment requires that exact bay count and RAID flexibility, this server matches; otherwise a different chassis or controller is required.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the 2x Xeon Gold 6130 CPUs and 256GB DDR4 memory are detected after powering on the R740xd?

During POST the BIOS will list both 16-core processors at 2.1GHz and show 256GB (8x 32GB) DDR4 2666MHz registered ECC modules. iDRAC9 Enterprise also reports CPU and memory health in its System Overview.

What ships with the server and which items must be sourced separately?

Included: 2U chassis with bezel, ready rails, 2x 750W platinum PSUs, 2x Xeon Gold 6130 CPUs, 256GB DDR4, PERC H730P 2GB controller, 12x 6TB 3.5" SATA HDDs, X520/I350 quad-port NIC (2x 1GbE, 2x 10Gb SFP+), iDRAC9 Enterprise. No extra cables or drives are required for the listed configuration.

Which drive bay count and controller combination matches a 12-bay 3.5" SATA array with hardware RAID?

This unit is the 12-bay 3.5" model equipped with the PERC H730P 2GB controller supporting RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 and pass-through. It is the only version in this listing that provides 12 hot-swap 3.5" bays and that controller together.
