Dense 2U server for storage workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server with twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays, dual Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors at 2.1 GHz with sixteen cores each, 64 GB of DDR4 ECC memory, a PERC H730 controller and quad-port 1 GbE plus 10 Gb SFP+ networking, aimed at databases, virtual desktops and data-intensive applications.

Suits buyers needing maximum drive density in 2U

This chassis fits twenty-four hot-swap trays, so it serves workloads that demand many spindles or SSDs in a single rack unit; it is not for buyers who need fewer bays with larger 3.5-inch drives, nor for teams that require more than two sockets or memory beyond the 1.5 TB ceiling.

24-bay 2.5-inch capacity decides fit

The defining constraint is the twenty-four 2.5-inch SAS/SATA bays backed by the H730 RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60; if your dataset needs that bay count in 2U this server matches, otherwise a different chassis is required.

Questions about this item

What rack depth and rails are required to mount this 2U 24-bay server?

The chassis is 2U high and ships with Ready Rails for tool-less mounting in a standard four-post rack; verify your cabinet depth can accommodate the 24-bay front and rear cabling.

Which BIOS or iDRAC steps are often missed when installing the dual Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors and 64 GB DDR4?

After seating both 16-core CPUs and the four 16 GB DDR4 modules, power on and enter iDRAC 8 Enterprise to run the system inventory and update firmware before configuring the PERC H730 RAID.

When will the PERC H730 battery and the 750 W power supplies need replacement?

The H730 1 GB controller battery typically lasts three to five years; the hot-swap 750 W platinum supplies should be replaced if a fault LED lights or after the rated MTBF period.
