Dense 2U compute node

The PowerEdge R730xd packs two 22-core Xeon processors and 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory into a 2U rack chassis, delivering 44 cores at 2.2 GHz with 3.6 GHz turbo for heavily threaded workloads such as virtualisation hosts, database nodes or HPC data tiers.

Storage-first operators

Twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays filled with 1.2 TB 10K SAS disks and a PERC H730 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 suit teams that prioritise raw capacity and redundancy over all-flash latency; buyers who need GPU acceleration or single-thread frequencies well above 2.2 GHz should look elsewhere.

24-bay SAS backplane

The front-loading 2.5-inch SAS/SATA backplane connects directly to the H730’s 12 Gb/s interface, so the number of physical bays and the controller’s RAID feature set are the decisive factors when matching this chassis to a storage topology.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the 24 SAS drives are recognised by the PERC H730 after installation?

The controller BIOS will display all 24 drives during POST and the iDRAC8 Enterprise dashboard shows each bay status once the server boots.

Which items ship inside the chassis and which must be sourced separately?

The unit includes two Xeon E5-2699 v4 CPUs, eight 16GB DDR4 modules, the H730 controller, twenty-four 1.2TB SAS drives, the X520/I350 quad-port network card, iDRAC8 Enterprise, two 750W power supplies, rails and bezel.

Should I select the 128GB configuration or add more memory now?

The system arrives with 128GB across eight slots leaving sixteen slots free; the platform supports up to 1.5TB total.
