Dell PowerEdge R730xd 24-Bay Server

This Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack-mount server system built for high-density storage workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2698 v3 processors running at 2.3GHz, providing 32 cores total. The unit includes 384GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across its DIMM slots. A PERC H730 SAS RAID controller manages the 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch drive bays.

Suited for storage-heavy virtualisation

The 24-bay chassis and dual 1100W power supplies support demanding, capacity-focused deployments. Remote management is handled by iDRAC8 with an Enterprise licence. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or a smaller form factor should consider other platforms. The server arrives with firmware updated and burn-in tested.

24 x 2.5-inch SAS drive bays define the storage

The backplane connects directly to the H730 controller for hardware RAID across all bays. Maximum installed memory capacity reaches 768GB DDR4 if the workload grows. No drives are included, so the final capacity depends on the SAS drives selected. Network connectivity includes two 10GbE and two 1GbE ports.

Questions about this item

What rack depth is required for the 36 in deep chassis?

The chassis measures 36 in deep, so the rack must provide at least that much clear depth plus room for rear cabling.

How are the two Xeon E5-2698 v3 processors installed, and what step is often missed?

Both processors are already installed in the two sockets; the common oversight is not updating the BIOS and iDRAC firmware before first boot.

When will the 384 GB DDR4 memory need to be expanded, and what is the limit?

The system supports up to 768 GB of DDR4, so expansion is only needed if workloads exceed the installed 384 GB.
