Frequently Asked Questions

What does CTO mean?

CTO (Configure-to-Order) means the server ships without a fixed processor, memory, or storage configuration — components are selected and configured at time of order. Verify the specific configuration included with this unit before purchasing.

What is the difference between R740 and R740xd?

The R740xd (extended depth) supports up to 24x 2.5-inch SFF drive bays compared to the standard R740's 8 or 16 bays — making the R740xd purpose-built for high-density storage deployments.

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd K6YWC delivers dual Xeon Scalable processing with up to 24x SFF drive bays and 3TB DDR4 in a 2U CTO rack server — purpose-built for high-density storage, virtualization, and data-intensive enterprise workloads.
