DELL PowerEdge R730xd 24SFF 2× Xeon E5-2699 v4 192GB DDR4

Dense 2.5-inch storage server

This 2U rackmount server fits twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays behind a single PERC H730 SAS controller. Dual Xeon E5-2699 v4 processors deliver twenty-two cores each at 2.2 GHz with 55 MB cache per chip. The installed 192 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory leaves room to expand toward the 768 GB maximum. Integrated graphics and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management handle console and firmware duties without a discrete GPU.

Verify power, rails and networking before ordering

Confirm the facility can supply two 1100 W power supplies and that the rack depth accommodates the 36-inch chassis. The on-board network card provides two 10 GbE and two 1 GbE ports; check that your switch modules and cabling match those interfaces. No drives are installed, so plan the quantity and type of SATA or SAS media you will populate across the twenty-four bays. Rails are available on request and must be specified if your rack requires them.

PERC H730 and iDRAC8 Enterprise simplify deployment

The H730 RAID controller manages all twenty-four bays with hardware RAID levels and cache-backed write performance. iDRAC8 Enterprise licensing enables virtual console, remote media, power control and full lifecycle automation from any browser. Firmware across BIOS, iDRAC and controller is updated to the latest stable release before shipment, reducing first-boot configuration time. The bundled dual 1100 W supplies and tested burn-in cycle mean the platform is ready for immediate drive installation and workload provisioning.
