2U 12-bay rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack-mount server built for dense storage workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors running at 2.6 GHz with eight cores each. The system includes 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across four modules. A PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache handles RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60.

Storage-focused teams versus GPU-dependent workloads

This server suits organisations that need twelve 3.5-inch drive bays for SAS or SATA disks in a compact rack footprint. The quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections for flexible fabric integration. Teams requiring GPU compute acceleration or specialised expansion cards should evaluate alternative platforms.

Twelve 3.5-inch hot-swap bays with H730 RAID

The defining specification is the twelve-bay 3.5-inch chassis paired with the PERC H730 controller supporting multiple RAID modes. This combination determines whether the platform matches your capacity and redundancy requirements. Verify that SAS/SATA mechanical drives fit your performance profile before committing.

Questions about this item

What rack height and rail kit does the R730xd require for mounting?

The server is a 2U rack unit and ships with Ready Rails for tool-less installation in standard racks.

What is the correct order for installing the two Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors and the 64GB DDR4 memory kit?

Install both processors first, then populate the 24 DIMM slots starting with the four 16GB registered ECC modules supplied at 2133MHz.

Which components in the R730xd are hot-swappable and what replacement parts will be needed over time?

The 12 x 3.5-inch drive trays, both 750W platinum power supplies and system fans are hot-swappable; the PERC H730 controller uses a replaceable battery-backed cache module.
