2U Rack Server with 12-Bay Storage

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 ten-core processor running at 2.3 GHz. It ships with 8 GB of DDR4 memory and three 4 TB 7.2K SAS hard drives managed by a PERC H330 RAID controller. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and iDRAC8 remote management come standard.

Suits Dense Storage Workloads

This configuration fits environments that need twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug bays and hardware RAID 0/1/5/10/50/60 in a compact chassis. Buyers who require a second processor installed, more than 8 GB of memory from the factory, or solid-state boot drives should look at a different platform.

Single E5-2650 v3 Processor Installed

Only one ten-core CPU is populated, leaving the second socket empty for future expansion. The PERC H330 controller supports SAS and SATA drives across all twelve bays, with a maximum raw capacity of 52 TB. Memory scales to 1536 GB across twenty-four DDR4 slots when both processors are fitted.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the E5-2650 v3 and 8GB DDR4 are recognised after power-on?

Open the iDRAC8 web interface or press F2 at boot to enter System Setup; both screens list the single ten-core Xeon at 2.3 GHz and the installed DDR4 memory total.

What ships in the box and what must I add?

The 2U chassis arrives with one E5-2650 v3, 8GB DDR4, three 4TB 7.2K SAS drives in hot-plug trays, H330 RAID controller, two 750W redundant supplies, DVD drive and 4 x 1GbE daughter card; OS licence, extra DIMMs, drives or 10GbE NDC are separate.

Which drive count suits a RAID 10 array with a hot spare?

Four drives minimum for RAID 10; the 12-bay backplane holds up to twelve 3.5" SAS or SATA drives, so start with the three installed 4TB units and add at least one more for the array plus another for a hot spare.
