Dell PowerEdge R730xd 2U Server for Data-Intensive

This 2U rack server pairs two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 14-core processors running at 2.40 GHz with 128 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory. The Dell PERC H730 1 GB controller manages twelve 8 TB 3.5-inch SATA hard drives at 7.2 K rpm. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies, iDRAC 8 Enterprise and a quad-port 1/10 GbE network card complete the platform.

Suited for Virtualisation Hosts

The 24 DIMM slots support up to 1.5 TB of memory, giving headroom for dense virtual-machine deployments or large in-memory databases. Twelve drive bays provide high raw capacity on a single chassis. Organisations needing flash-only arrays, GPU acceleration or more than two sockets should evaluate alternative platforms.

128 GB DDR4 2400 MHz Registered ECC Installed

The system ships with eight 16 GB modules populating eight of the 24 available slots. This leaves sixteen slots free for expansion up to the 1.5 TB maximum. Confirm your workload fits within the current 128 GB before ordering additional memory.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the PERC H730 controller is managing all 12 drives correctly after setup?

Open the controller BIOS during boot or the iDRAC8 Enterprise interface to confirm all twelve 8 TB drives appear in the expected RAID virtual disks with healthy status.

Which items ship inside the chassis and which must be ordered separately?

The server includes two Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors, eight 16 GB DDR4 modules, twelve 8 TB 3.5" SATA drives, the H730 controller with battery, X520/I350 quad-port card, iDRAC8 Enterprise, two 750 W PSUs, bezel and rails.

Which memory configuration should I choose if I need to expand beyond the installed 128 GB?

The system has twenty-four DDR4 slots and supports up to 1.5 TB; populate remaining slots with registered ECC DDR4 modules in matched sets per channel for best performance.
