Dense 24-bay rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd fits 24 small-form-factor drives into a 2U chassis for storage-heavy workloads. Dual Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors at 2.6GHz and 512GB of DDR4 ECC memory support virtualisation, databases and backup targets.

Dual 1100W supplies and iDRAC8

Two redundant 1100W power supplies feed the 24-bay backplane and dual CPUs. The iDRAC8 Enterprise licence gives remote console, power control and hardware monitoring over a dedicated network port.

PERC H730 RAID and 10GbE networking

The PERC H730 SAS controller manages RAID across up to 24 drives. An installed Intel I350/X540 card adds two 10GbE and two 1GbE ports. No drives or rail kit are included; both are available separately.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 2.5 inch drives into the 24 SFF bays and what step is often missed?

Slide each 2.5 inch drive into a bay until the carrier clicks, then secure the latch; the step often missed is enabling the new drives in the PERC H730 RAID controller BIOS before the OS sees them.

Which components will need replacement first during long-term operation?

The two 1100W power supplies and the system fans are the primary field-replaceable units that wear out; DDR4 ECC memory and the PERC H730 controller rarely fail but can be swapped if needed.

What thermal or power limit appears first when both Xeon E5-2640 v3 CPUs run at 2.6 GHz continuously?

The 1100W power supply rating is the first hard limit; sustained full-load draw from both 8-core processors plus 512 GB DDR4 and 24 drives can approach that ceiling, triggering throttling or shutdown.
