2U Server with Dual 18-Core Xeons

This Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors, each running 18 cores at 2.3 GHz with 3.6 GHz turbo. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across 16 slots and includes a PERC H730 1 GB RAID controller with battery backup.

Suited for storage-dense virtualisation

The chassis provides 24 front-access 2.5-inch bays populated with 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives, delivering high capacity in a compact form factor. Networking is handled by an Intel X520/I350 quad-port card offering two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections. Buyers who require all-flash arrays or GPU-accelerated compute should evaluate alternative configurations.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS drive capacity

The single specification that determines fit is the 24-bay 2.5-inch SAS backplane paired with the H730 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. This layout fixes the storage protocol and physical drive count, so environments needing a different bay count or interface must select another platform.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the PERC H730 controller sees all 24 drives after power-on?

Open the PERC H730 BIOS utility during POST or log into iDRAC8 Enterprise; both will list each of the 24 SAS bays and show the RAID virtual disks you have created.

What ships with the server and what must I source separately?

The unit includes 2 Xeon E5-2699 v3 CPUs, 16 x 32 GB DDR4 RDIMMs, H730 1 GB controller, 24 x 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives, X520/I350 quad-port NIC, iDRAC8 Enterprise, 2 x 750 W PSUs, bezel and rails; OS licences and SFP+ transceivers are not included.

Which memory configuration matches the listed 512 GB capacity?

The server arrives with 16 modules of 32 GB DDR4-2133 registered ECC, filling 16 of the 24 DIMM slots and leaving 8 slots free for future expansion up to 1.5 TB.
