Built for dense storage workloads

This 2U rack server fits 24 2.5-inch drive bays and dual Xeon E5-2620 v3 processors running at 2.4 GHz with a 3.2 GHz turbo. It targets midsize and large enterprises that need a single chassis for data warehouses, e-commerce, VDI, databases or HPC data nodes.

Dual 750 W platinum supplies and hot-swap power

Redundant hot-swap power supplies share the load at high efficiency, keeping the system running if one unit fails. The H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache and battery backs write operations across SATA and SAS drives without adding mechanical noise.

Sustained throughput for mixed read-write streams

The quad-port X520/I350 network daughter card delivers two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links, feeding storage traffic continuously. iDRAC 8 Enterprise provides out-of-band monitoring and control during long-running jobs, while 768 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz ECC memory across 24 slots supports large working sets without paging.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 24 front 2.5" drive trays in the R730xd and what step is often missed?

Slide each tray into the front bays until the latch clicks; the step often missed is ensuring the PERC H730 controller cables are seated on the backplane before powering on.

What maintenance will the PERC H730 1GB controller battery need later?

The controller battery backs the write cache; it typically requires replacement every few years when iDRAC 8 reports a degraded or failed battery status.

What thermal or power limit appears first when both Xeon E5-2620 v3 CPUs run at 3.2 GHz turbo under sustained load?

The 750 W platinum power supplies set the ceiling; sustained dual-CPU turbo can push total draw close to the 750 W per supply rating, triggering throttling before thermal limits.
