Rack server with twelve 3.5-inch bays

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd fits twelve 3.5-inch drive bays in a 2U rack chassis. Two Xeon E5-2620 v3 processors run at 2.4GHz with six cores each. The system ships with 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and supports up to 768GB total. Integrated graphics and the PERC H730 SAS controller handle storage and display duties.

PERC H730 controller and 10GbE networking

The PERC H730 RAID controller manages SATA and SAS drives with hardware RAID levels. A dual-port Intel network card adds two 10GbE and two 1GbE connections for high-throughput workloads. iDRAC8 Enterprise provides remote console, power control and firmware updates over a dedicated management port. Dual 1100W power supplies deliver redundancy without extra cabling.

Tool-less rails and firmware-ready arrival

The chassis accepts tool-less sliding rails that snap into standard square-hole racks. Each unit arrives with BIOS and firmware updated to the latest stable release and passes a full burn-in test before packing. Buyers who need drives or additional memory must add them separately as the server ships without storage installed. Heavy weight and depth require two-person handling during rack mounting.

Questions about this item

What drive maintenance will the 12-bay 3.5" chassis require over time?

The 12 front-access bays accept 3.5" SATA drives; failed disks can be hot-swapped without tools and the PERC H730 controller supports online rebuilds.

Which limit appears first when both Xeon E5-2620 v3 CPUs run at 2.4 GHz continuously?

The two 1100 W power supplies set the sustained power ceiling; thermal throttling engages before the 768 GB memory ceiling is reached.

How loud and hot does the 2U rack chassis get during all-day operation?

Redundant 1100 W fans spin up under load; iDRAC8 Enterprise lets you monitor inlet temperature and adjust fan curves remotely.
