24-bay rack server with dual Xeon

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd arrives as a 2U rackmount system populated with two Intel Xeon E5-2698 v4 processors at 2.2 GHz and 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis provides 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch drive bays and a PERC H730 SAS RAID controller for internal storage arrays.

Fits dense storage workloads, not GPU compute

Organisations running near-line archives, backup repositories, or memory-heavy databases benefit from the 24-bay layout and 768 GB maximum memory. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or additional processor sockets should look at a different platform.

PERC H730 SAS controller governs drive choice

The installed RAID controller manages SAS drives across the 24 bays, so storage expansion must use compatible SAS media; other drive interfaces are not supported by this controller.

Questions about this item

When will the 256 GB DDR4 memory need to be expanded toward the 768 GB maximum?

Add DDR4 modules when workloads exceed the installed 256 GB; the board supports up to 768 GB total across all slots.

Which component hits its limit first during sustained all-core load on the 2× Xeon E5-2698 v4 CPUs?

The 1100 W power supplies set the sustained ceiling; each 20-core processor runs at 2.2 GHz within that envelope.

How loud and hot does the 24-bay chassis get when both 1100 W supplies run continuously?

Dual 1100 W units and 24 drive bays move considerable airflow; expect data-centre noise levels and heat output suited for rack aisles.
