Dual-socket Xeon server with twelve 3.5-inch bays

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd fits twelve 3.5-inch drives in a 2U rack chassis. Two Xeon E5-2698 v4 processors run at 2.2 GHz with twenty cores each. Five hundred twelve gigabytes of DDR4 ECC registered memory are installed and the platform supports up to 768 GB total.

Sustained load on twenty cores per socket

The PERC H730 SAS controller manages RAID across all twelve bays for continuous throughput. Dual 1100 W power supplies share the load and provide redundancy during extended operation. Integrated Intel I350 and X540 network adapters deliver two 10 GbE and two 1 GbE ports for steady data movement.

Rail kit optional and drives not included

The server ships without drives so you must supply compatible SATA or SAS disks. iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management is licensed and firmware is updated before dispatch. Rack rails are available on request; without them you need your own mounting hardware.

Questions about this item

How much power do the dual Xeon E5-2698 v4 processors and 512GB DDR4 draw under sustained load with the 1100W supplies?

Two 1100W power supplies provide redundant capacity for the 20-core CPUs and 512GB DDR4; actual draw depends on the drives you add and workload intensity.

Which drive caddies and SAS cables are required to populate the 12 x 3.5-inch bays with the PERC H730 controller?

The 12-bay chassis uses Dell 3.5-inch hot-plug caddies; the PERC H730 connects via internal SAS cables that are included with the server.

Will the iDRAC8 Enterprise licence and integrated graphics work with a legacy KVM switch over IP?

iDRAC8 Enterprise provides a dedicated network port and virtual console, so you can manage the server remotely without a separate KVM-over-IP device.
