Dell PowerEdge R730xd 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for dense storage workloads. It fits 24 hot-swap 2.5-inch drive trays behind a compact chassis. Dual Xeon processors and a PERC H730 controller handle databases, virtualisation and high-performance computing tasks.

Suits storage-heavy virtualisation clusters

This server suits teams that need maximum drive bays in a 2U form factor and dual-socket compute for virtual desktop infrastructure or data warehousing. Builders who need GPU acceleration, a single-socket design or fewer drive bays should evaluate other form factors.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS/SATA backplane

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch SAS/SATA backplane paired with the PERC H730 controller supporting RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60. This combination determines whether the chassis meets the density and redundancy requirements of the target workload.

Questions about this item

What network interfaces does the X520/I350 daughter card provide?

The daughter card includes two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports, giving a mix of copper and fibre connectivity in one slot.

Can I reuse existing 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives with the PERC H730 controller?

Yes, the H730 supports both SAS and SATA drives, so current 2.5-inch disks will work when installed in the 24 trays.

How can I confirm the iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management is active after powering on?

During boot the iDRAC IP address appears on the LCD panel; you can then reach the web interface from a browser on the management network.
