Dell PowerEdge R730xd 24-Bay 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v3 processors, each running at 2.0 GHz with 14 cores. It includes 64 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across 4 modules. The system supports up to 1.5 TB of total memory across 24 slots.

Suited for storage-heavy workloads

This server targets midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure, databases, or high-performance computing data nodes. The 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis and PERC H730 controller support extensive SATA or SAS drive arrays. Buyers who need more than two processor sockets or memory beyond 1.5 TB should consider a different platform.

Dual Xeon 14-core CPUs with 64 GB DDR4

The installed configuration provides 28 total cores at 2.0 GHz base frequency with 3.0 GHz turbo capability. This processor and memory combination determines the compute density available for virtualization, database, or HPC node deployments. The LGA 2011-3 socket and Intel C610 chipset define the upgrade boundaries for this generation.

Questions about this item

Will the two 750 W power supplies handle the 28-core CPU load continuously?

The server ships with two 750 W Platinum-efficiency supplies in a redundant hot-swap arrangement, so one unit can carry the full load while the other remains on standby.

How loud are the fans when the system runs 24/7 in a 2U rack?

Dell does not publish a single dB figure for this configuration; fan speed scales with inlet temperature and CPU utilisation, so acoustic output varies by deployment.

Which drive trays and backplane are included for the 24-bay front?

Twenty-four 2.5-inch SAS/SATA hot-swap trays are factory-fitted and the backplane connects to the PERC H730 controller for RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60.
