24-bay rack server for dense storage workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd fits up to 24 small-form-factor drives in a 2U chassis, making it suited to storage-heavy applications such as software-defined storage, backup targets or media archives. A single Xeon E5-2683 v4 running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores and 256 GB of DDR4 ECC memory delivers compute capacity for parallel workloads.

Verify rack depth and power before ordering

The unit measures 36 inches deep and weighs 40 pounds, so confirm that your rack rails and floor loading can accommodate those dimensions. Two 1100 W supplies are installed; ensure your PDU circuits and cabling match the required connectors. The PERC H730 controller uses SAS connectivity, so plan drive caddies and backplane links accordingly.

iDRAC8 Enterprise and 10 GbE ready for remote ops

The integrated iDRAC8 Enterprise licence enables full out-of-band management including virtual console and power control without an extra licence purchase. A quad-port Intel network card provides two 10 GbE and two 1 GbE links for high-throughput data movement and separate management traffic. Rail kits are available on request if your rack uses tool-less mounting.

Questions about this item

Does the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis ship with any drives or caddies?

The server comes with no drives installed; the 24 SFF bays are empty and caddies are not included.

Should I choose the single Xeon E5-2683 v4 or add a second processor?

One 16-core 2.1 GHz Xeon is installed; a second socket is free for a matching E5-2683 v4 if workloads need more cores.

How much of the 256 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory is usable after the PERC H730 reserves its buffer?

The full 256 GB is available to the OS; the H730 uses its own onboard cache, not system RAM.
