Ready-to-Rack 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rackmount server system designed for midsize and large enterprise workloads. It ships with dual Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors, each offering 16 cores at 2.1 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo capability. The system includes 64 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across 4 modules and a PERC H730 1 GB storage controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60.

Dense Local Storage Focus

This platform suits organisations that need high internal capacity in a compact form factor, with twelve 3.5-inch SAS/SATA drive bays ready for mechanical or solid-state drives. The quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections for flexible fabric integration. Buyers who require more than two processor sockets or greater memory density per socket should evaluate other platforms.

Twelve 3.5-Inch Drive Bays

The defining specification is the twelve 3.5-inch hot-swap trays served by the H730 controller, which determines how much local data the server can hold and protect. With 24 DIMM slots supporting up to 1.5 TB of DDR4, memory can scale far beyond the factory 64 GB as workloads grow. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 8 Enterprise complete the resilient foundation.

Questions about this item

What drives do I need to populate the twelve 3.5" bays?

The server accepts 3.5" SATA or SAS hard drives or SSDs; no drives are included so you must supply them.

Will my existing 1 GbE copper switches work with the X520/I350 network card?

Yes — the daughter card includes 1 GbE ports that connect to standard copper switches.

How can I confirm the PERC H730 controller is healthy after installation?

Check the controller status in the iDRAC8 Enterprise interface or during POST; it will report battery health and firmware version.
