Dell PowerEdge R730xd 12-bay server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server with twelve 3.5-inch drive bays and a PERC H730 SAS controller. Two Xeon E5-2650 v3 processors run at 2.3 GHz with ten cores each and 25 MB cache. 768 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory fills the maximum supported capacity. Integrated graphics and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management come standard.

Storage-dense workloads and virtualisation hosts

This configuration suits buyers who need high internal drive density and large memory capacity for virtualisation, database or backup workloads. The twelve-bay chassis and hardware RAID controller support extensive local storage arrays. It is not suited for buyers who require GPU-accelerated compute or more than two processor sockets.

768 GB DDR4 at maximum capacity

The installed 768 GB of DDR4 memory reaches the system’s maximum supported capacity, so no further memory upgrades are possible. Buyers planning future memory expansion should consider a platform with higher DIMM limits.

Questions about this item

How much heat and power do the two 2.3GHz Xeon E5-2650 v3 CPUs and 768GB DDR4 produce under sustained load?

Two 10-core Xeon E5-2650 v3 processors at 2.3GHz and 768GB DDR4 ECC memory draw significant power; the dual 1100W supplies are sized for full CPU and memory load plus up to 12 drives.

What caddies and cables are required to populate the 12 LFF 3.5" drive bays with SATA drives using the PERC H730 controller?

The 12-bay 3.5" chassis uses Dell 3.5" caddies; the PERC H730 connects to the backplane with internal mini-SAS cables, so drives need compatible caddies and the backplane must be cabled to the controller.

Will the integrated graphics and iDRAC8 Enterprise work with an older KVM switch that only supports VGA and PS/2?

Integrated graphics provides VGA output; iDRAC8 Enterprise offers virtual console over network, so a VGA KVM can attach directly while remote management runs independently over its own Ethernet port.
