2U Rack Server with 24 Drive Bays

The PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack-mounted server designed for midsize and large enterprises. It fits workloads such as data warehousing, e-commerce, virtual desktop infrastructure, databases and high-performance computing data nodes. Two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors each deliver 12 cores at 2.5 GHz with a 3.3 GHz turbo frequency. The chassis supports up to 24 2.5-inch drives and includes redundant hot-swap 750 Watt power supplies, iDRAC 8 Enterprise remote management, ready rails and a front bezel.

768 GB DDR4 Registered ECC Memory

The system ships with 768 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory installed across 24 DIMM slots, reaching the full slot count. Maximum supported capacity is 1.5 TB, so additional modules can be added later. This memory configuration suits memory-intensive applications such as in-memory databases, large-scale virtualisation and analytics workloads that demand high capacity with error correction.

PERC H730 Controller and Quad-Port Networking

A Dell PERC H730 1 GB mini controller provides 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes. Two 800 GB SATA SSDs are pre-installed for fast boot or caching tiers. An Intel X520/I350 daughter card adds two 1 GbE ports and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports for flexible network integration.
