For 14th generation systems like the R640, R740, and R740xd, the original system-boards support up to 2933 MT/s (DDR4 2933). So you'll want to check what generation your Dell server is and what the specs say is the maximum memory speed for that system board. RULES OF THUMB: In 12th and 13th gen servers, you can *technically* install faster RAM than the processors/system-board support; however, the system board version and the procs will still limit RAM speeds to whatever their max speed is. For example, in 13th gen servers, you can *technically* install DDR4 2666Mhz; however, the processors that are compatible with
Hard drive bays are a valuable feature for anyone who wants to ensure that their server is adaptable, efficient, and future-proof!
This tutorial will show you, step-by-step, how to install a rear flex bay into a 24-Bay Dell PowerEdge R740xd server. The installation would also be the same for installing in an R740xd 12-bay server; however, with rear flex bays for 12-bay servers, the SAS cable placement is different on the chassis backplane, and you would need to use a different SAS cable (more on that later). NOTE: With 12th and 13th gen servers, the parts vary significantly more between different configurations; we covered that here. You can find a chart of the P/Ns and images of the alternate Flex Bay cables at the end of this Dell Powe
