Dual-socket 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack-mount system designed for midsize and large enterprise workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3 processors, each running at 2.4 GHz with six cores and a 3.2 GHz turbo frequency. The chassis provides twelve 3.5-inch drive bays for high-capacity storage deployments.

Redundant platinum power supplies

Two hot-swap 750-watt platinum-efficiency power supplies deliver redundant power for continuous operation. The Intel C610 chipset and DDR4 registered ECC memory help maintain thermal stability under sustained compute loads. Integrated iDRAC 8 Enterprise enables remote monitoring of power draw and system health without host OS dependency.

Twelve 3.5-inch drive bays

The server supports up to twelve SAS or SATA drives through a Dell PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache and battery backup. RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 are available alongside pass-through mode. No drives are installed, so buyers needing immediate storage capacity must supply their own disks.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 2.4 GHz Xeon processors into the LGA 2011-3 sockets, and what step is often missed?

Align the processor notches with the socket keys, lower the load plate gently, then secure the lever; the step often missed is applying fresh thermal compound before mounting the heatsink.

When will the PERC H730 controller battery need replacement, and how is it accessed?

The 1 GB cache battery typically lasts three to five years; it is a replaceable module on the controller card, accessible by removing the server top cover.

At what point does the 750 W platinum power supply become the limiting factor under sustained load?

The dual 750 W supplies provide redundancy; sustained draw above roughly 750 W total will exceed a single unit's capacity, making the PSU the first limit.
