Dual Xeon 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2630v3 eight-core processors running at 2.4GHz. It ships with 16GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots and three 2TB 7.2K SAS drives managed by a PERC H730 RAID controller. The system targets organisations needing dense 3.5-inch storage in a standard rack footprint.

Storage density and expansion

Twelve front-accessible 3.5-inch hot-plug bays accept SAS or SATA drives, with three bays already populated. The H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, freeing internal PCIe 3.0 slots for additional networking or acceleration cards. Dual 750W redundant power supplies and a DVD-ROM drive complete the baseline configuration.

Thermals and power in operation

Redundant 750W power supplies share the load, allowing one unit to fail without downtime. The 2U chassis uses forced-air cooling tuned for the dual-processor layout and twelve spinning drives. Acoustic output is typical for a rack-mount server intended for a dedicated server room rather than an office environment.

Questions about this item

What is the maximum memory capacity supported by the installed Xeon E5-2630v3 processors?

The installed processors support up to 1536GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots, with speeds up to 2400MT/s depending on processor capability.

How much heat must be dissipated when both 750W power supplies run continuously under load?

Dual 750W redundant power supplies deliver up to 750W each; total heat output under full load will approach the combined supply rating, requiring adequate rack airflow.

Which rail kit is required to mount this 2U server in a standard rack?

The server requires Dell sliding or static rails compatible with the R730XD chassis for secure mounting in a standard rack.
