12-bay 3.5-inch 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack-mount server built for data-intensive workloads. Dual Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3 processors deliver twelve cores at 2.4 GHz with 3.2 GHz turbo. 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory fills sixteen slots. Twelve 3.5-inch 4 TB enterprise SATA drives install in the front bays.

Suited for storage-heavy roles.

This configuration targets databases, virtual desktop infrastructure and data-warehouse nodes that benefit from high spindle count. The PERC H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with battery-backed cache. Quad-port networking adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links. Buyers who need all-flash performance or GPU acceleration should look elsewhere.

512 GB DDR4 registered ECC across 24 slots

Memory is the decisive spec: 512 GB installed as sixteen 32 GB modules running at 2133 MHz leaves eight slots open for expansion up to 1.5 TB. The LGA 2011-3 platform requires registered ECC DDR4; unbuffered or non-ECC modules will not work. Verify the existing population plan before adding more memory.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.4 GHz Xeon E5-2620 v3 CPUs work with my existing DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory modules?

Yes, the server uses DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 slots, so your existing modules of the same specification will be compatible.

How can I verify the PERC H730 controller and all twelve 4 TB drives are healthy after installation?

Use the iDRAC8 Enterprise interface to check controller firmware, drive SMART status, and RAID virtual-disk state; the front-panel LCD also shows drive and power-supply health.

Which items ship with the server and what must I purchase separately?

The unit includes two 750 W power supplies, ready rails, front bezel, the X520/I350 quad-port network card, PERC H730 with battery, two Xeon E5-2620 v3 CPUs, 512 GB DDR4, and twelve 4 TB drives; SFP+ transceivers and operating-system licences are not included.
