PowerEdge R730xd 12-bay server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for storage-dense workloads such as data warehouses, virtual desktop infrastructure and high-performance computing nodes. It ships with twelve 3.5-inch drive bays, dual Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3 processors and 64GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory. This configuration targets midsize and large enterprises that need internal capacity and compute in a single chassis.

Dual 750W platinum power supplies

Redundant 750-watt platinum-efficiency power supplies support hot-swap replacement without downtime. The 2U form factor uses Dell's engineered airflow to cool two six-core CPUs running at 2.40GHz with 3.2GHz turbo, twelve 7.2K SATA drives and a PERC H730 controller under typical enterprise loads. Fan speed ramps automatically based on inlet temperature and component utilisation.

PERC H730, quad-port networking

The PERC H730 1GB controller provides hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode for the twelve installed 6TB drives. A quad-port network daughter card adds two 1GbE and two 10Gb SFP+ connections for flexible fabric attachment. iDRAC8 Enterprise enables full remote management, including virtual console, power control and hardware inventory, from any browser.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 12x 3.5" hard drives in the R730xd front bays, and what step is often missed?

Slide each drive into a bay until the latch clicks, then verify the PERC H730 controller detects all 12 drives in the BIOS before configuring RAID.

What maintenance will the H730 RAID controller need over time?

The controller uses a battery-backed cache; plan to replace the battery module when iDRAC8 reports a degraded or failed cache battery status.

What limit appears first when both Xeon E5-2620 v3 CPUs run sustained all-core workloads?

The dual 750W platinum power supplies cap total input; prolonged full-load operation can approach their combined capacity and trigger throttling.
