  • Dual 10-core Xeon processors at 2.6 GHz with 3.3 GHz turbo for demanding workloads
  • 512 GB DDR4 ECC memory in 16× 32 GB modules supporting up to 1.5 TB
  • PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache enabling RAID 0 1 5 6 10 50 60
  • 24× 300 GB 10K SAS drives in 2.5-inch bays for high-density storage
  • Quad-port X520/I350 network card with 2× 1 GbE and 2× 10 Gb SFP+

Built for dense workloads

This 2U rack server fits two Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors, each with 10 cores at 2.6 GHz and 3.3 GHz Turbo. The 512 GB DDR4 2133 MHz ECC memory uses 16 modules of 32 GB across 24 slots. Twenty-four 300 GB 10K SAS drives connect to a PERC H730 controller supporting RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60. A quad-port X520/I350 card adds 2× 1 GbE and 2× 10 Gb SFP+ links. iDRAC8 Enterprise handles remote management.

Check power, network and drive carriers

Two 750 W platinum power supplies need matching PDU outlets and cords. The SFP+ ports require compatible transceivers and cables for 10 Gb links. Verify the 2.5-inch SAS drive carriers suit your spares or replacements. The LGA 2011-3 socket and C610 chipset limit CPU upgrades to the same generation. Memory expansion stays within DDR4 ECC registered modules up to the 1.5 TB maximum.

Ready rails, bezel and hot-swap bays

Sliding rails and a front bezel are included for standard rack mounting. All 24 drive bays support hot-swap SAS or SATA media without tools. Dual power supplies and the PERC H730 battery-backed cache are hot-swappable for continuous uptime. The 2U height fits typical rack density plans while leaving rear clearance for the quad-port NIC and dual PSU exhaust.

Questions about this item

What drives and accessories ship with the R730xd, and what must I add?

The server includes 24 Dell 300 GB 10K SAS 2.5" drives, two 750 W platinum power supplies, iDRAC8 Enterprise, ready rails and a front bezel. No SSDs are installed; add compatible SAS or SATA drives if you need more capacity or flash storage.

Should I pick the 512 GB DDR4 configuration or expand to the 1.5 TB maximum?

512 GB (16× 32 GB DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC) fills 16 of 24 slots. Choose it for current virtualization or database workloads; expand later to 1.5 TB using the 8 free slots if memory pressure grows.

What does the 2.6 GHz / 3.3 GHz turbo figure mean once the dual Xeon E5-2660 v3 CPUs are under load?

Each of the two 10-core Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors runs at a 2.6 GHz base frequency and can boost to 3.3 GHz on active cores, giving 20 threads total for multi-threaded applications such as virtualization, databases or HPC.
