2U Rack Server with Dual Xeon Silver 4110
The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack-mounted server system built for storage-dense workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4110 processors running at 2.1 GHz, each offering 8 cores. The platform includes 768 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 slots. A PERC H730P 2 GB controller manages twelve 8 TB 7.2K SATA 3.5-inch hard drives.
Suited for Capacity-Focused Deployments
This configuration targets software-defined storage, virtual desktop infrastructure, and service-provider environments that prioritise raw capacity over flash speed. The twelve-bay 3.5-inch chassis and SATA hard drives deliver high terabyte counts at a lower cost per gigabyte. Buyers who require all-flash performance or a smaller form factor should evaluate alternative platforms.
Storage Controller Determines RAID Flexibility
The installed Dell PERC H730P 2 GB controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes with battery-backed cache. This single component defines the data-protection schemes and throughput available to the twelve SATA drives. Verify that the supported RAID levels match your redundancy and performance requirements before purchase.

Questions about this item
Will the LGA 3647 Xeon Silver 4110 CPUs work with my existing DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC DIMMs?
Yes, the server uses DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 slots, so your current DIMMs are compatible.
How can I verify the PERC H730P controller sees all twelve 8 TB drives after installation?
Open the controller BIOS or iDRAC 9 Enterprise storage view; it will list each 3.5-inch SATA drive and the configured RAID virtual disks.
Which items ship with the chassis and which must be sourced separately?
The box includes the 2U chassis, 2 CPUs, 768 GB RAM, 12 drives, H730P, X520/I350 card, iDRAC 9 Enterprise, 2 PSUs, rails and bezel.
