Dual Xeon E5-2680 v3 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors running at 2.5 GHz with 3.3 GHz turbo. Each processor provides 12 cores for a total of 24 cores. The system includes 512 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across 16 DIMM slots.

Suits dense storage workloads.

This server targets workloads that need high internal capacity such as data warehouses, virtual desktop infrastructure and database nodes. Twelve 3.5-inch drive bays support up to twelve SATA hard drives. Buyers who need only compute performance with minimal storage should consider a smaller chassis.

H730 controller with twelve 8 TB drives

The PERC H730 1 GB controller manages twelve 8 TB 7.2K SATA drives and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through. Quad-port networking provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections. iDRAC 8 Enterprise and dual 750 W platinum power supplies are included.

Questions about this item

Will the dual Xeon E5-2680 v3 CPUs at 2.5GHz work with my existing DDR4 2133MHz ECC memory?

How do I verify the PERC H730 controller and all 12 drive bays are functioning after installation?

Check the controller BIOS during POST, then use iDRAC8 Enterprise to confirm all 12 bays show drives and RAID virtual disks are optimal.

Are rails, bezel, and the quad-port X520/I350 network card included, or must I buy them separately?

Ready Rails, front bezel, and the Intel X520/I350 daughter card with 2x 1GbE and 2x 10Gb SFP+ ports are included.
