DELL PowerEdge R740xd 12LFF 2x Xeon Gold 6226 512GB DDR4

Dense 12-bay 3.5-inch storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack-mount server populated with two Xeon Gold 6226 processors at 2.7GHz and 512GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. A PERC H730P RAID controller manages up to twelve 3.5-inch SATA drive bays, while dual 1100W supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management provide redundancy and out-of-band control.

Suits storage-heavy workloads without GPUs

This configuration targets archives, backup targets, object stores or dense databases that need many large drives and dual-socket compute. Buyers who require GPU acceleration, single-socket economy, or drive bays smaller than 3.5 inches should look elsewhere, as the chassis, controller and populated CPU sockets are fixed for this build.

512GB DDR4 ECC registered memory installed

The system ships with 512GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across both processors, leaving headroom to the 3TB platform maximum for future expansion. Memory type and generation are fixed to DDR4, so any upgrade must match that specification exactly.
