24-bay 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd fits twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays in a two-processor chassis. Dual Xeon E5-2650L v4 CPUs deliver twenty-eight cores at 1.7 GHz for virtualisation or storage workloads. Two hundred fifty-six gigabytes of DDR4 ECC registered memory are installed, leaving headroom up to 768 GB.

PERC H730 with 10 GbE networking

A PERC H730 SAS controller manages RAID across SATA drives, while an Intel I350/X540 card adds two 10 GbE and two 1 GbE ports. Dual 1100 W supplies provide redundancy. iDRAC8 Enterprise enables remote console, power control and firmware updates without an operating system.

Tool-less rails and drive caddies

The server accepts Dell ready-rails for toolless rack mounting, and each 2.5-inch bay uses a hot-plug caddy that clicks in from the front. Memory slots are colour-coded per processor; populate evenly across both CPUs for best bandwidth. Drives are not included, so plan capacity before deployment.

Questions about this item

Will the 256 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory need matched modules when I expand toward the 768 GB maximum?

Yes — the board uses DDR4 ECC registered DIMMs, so any added modules must match that type and speed to keep the system stable.

What thermal limit appears first when both 14-core 1.7 GHz Xeon E5-2650L v4 CPUs run at full load continuously?

The 1100 W redundant power supplies set the sustained power ceiling; the platform will throttle the processors before the chassis hits its thermal design limit.

How loud are the fans when the 24-bay 2.5" chassis and dual 1100 W supplies run 24/7?

The server uses temperature-controlled fans that spin up under load; at typical room temperature the acoustic output stays in the low-50 dB range during continuous operation.
