Dual 16-core Xeon 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors running at 2.1 GHz, each providing 16 cores. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 ECC memory across 24 slots and a PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache. Two 300 GB 10 K SAS drives and a quad-port 1GbE/10GbE network daughter card are included.

Virtualisation and database nodes.

This configuration suits organisations running virtualisation clusters, database workloads or high-performance computing nodes that benefit from high core counts and large memory capacity. The 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis supports extensive SAS or SATA storage expansion. Buyers who need dense all-flash storage in a 2U form factor should consider alternative platforms.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS/SATA chassis

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch front drive cage, which accepts SAS and SATA drives and connects to the H730 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. This bay count determines how much local storage the server can hold and whether the chassis matches the intended storage topology.

Questions about this item

What type and speed of memory modules must I already have to expand the 64 GB DDR4 installed in this server?

The system uses DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC DIMMs; the board has 24 slots and supports up to 1.5 TB total.

Can the PERC H730 controller manage my existing 12 Gb/s SAS drives alongside the two 300 GB 10 K SAS drives already installed?

Yes, the H730 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 and pass-through for mixed drive sets.

How do I confirm the iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management is operating correctly after initial configuration?

Log into the iDRAC web interface or use the front-panel LCD to verify network connectivity, firmware version and system health status.
