Ready-to-rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 12-bay 3.5-inch rack-mount server delivered with one Intel Xeon E5-2699 v4 processor running at 2.2 GHz and 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It includes a PERC H730 SAS RAID controller and dual 1100 W power supplies for redundant operation.

Suits storage-heavy workloads

This configuration targets environments that need dense local capacity in a 2U form factor such as backup repositories, media archives or software-defined storage clusters. Buyers who require a second processor installed, factory-populated drives or more than 768 GB of memory should consider other options.

Single-socket ceiling

Only one Xeon E5-2699 v4 is installed while the motherboard supports two, so the 22-core CPU and 256 GB of DDR4 define the immediate compute ceiling; adding the second socket later doubles both core count and memory channels.

Questions about this item

With one 2.2 GHz 22-core Xeon installed, how much headroom is left for a second CPU?

The chassis supports up to 2 processors, so a second socket is available for expansion.

The PERC H730 handles 12 Gb/s SAS — what does that mean for the 12 SATA bays?

The controller runs each bay at SATA 6 Gb/s; SAS drives would use the full 12 Gb/s link.

What physical space and mounting hardware does the 36 x 24 x 10 inch, 40 lb chassis require?

It occupies 2U of rack height and fits standard square-hole rails; rail kit is available on request.
