Built for data-intensive workloads

The PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server designed for midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure, databases and high-performance computing data nodes. Dual Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors provide 28 total cores at 2.0 GHz with 3.2 GHz turbo for heavy multi-threaded throughput. One hundred twenty-eight gigabytes of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 8 modules supports large in-memory datasets.

Dual 750 W platinum supplies handle thermals

Two hot-swap 750 watt platinum-efficiency power supplies deliver redundant power for continuous operation under load. The 2U chassis directs airflow across dual 14-core CPUs, 24 DIMM slots, twelve 3.5-inch drive bays and the PERC H730 controller with battery-backed cache. Redundant cooling and power reduce downtime risk during sustained database or virtualisation workloads.

Twelve-bay chassis frees PCIe slots for networking

Twelve front-access 3.5-inch SATA bays hold 6 TB enterprise drives at 7.2K rpm, leaving internal PCIe space for the installed quad-port X520/I350 daughter card with dual 1 GbE and dual 10 GbE SFP+ links. iDRAC 8 Enterprise provides dedicated remote management. Ready rails and bezel simplify rack integration without consuming extra expansion slots.

Questions about this item

How do I install the twelve 3.5-inch SATA drives into the 2U chassis, and which step do people often miss?

Slide each drive into the front hot-swap bays until the latch clicks; the step often missed is confirming the PERC H730 controller sees every drive in the BIOS before creating RAID volumes.

What maintenance will the 128 GB DDR4 memory and PERC H730 battery require later?

The registered ECC DDR4 modules need no routine service; the H730 RAID battery should be checked after several years and replaced if the controller reports a degraded cache backup.

What thermal or power limit appears first when both 14-core Xeon E5-2660 v4 CPUs run at 3.2 GHz turbo under sustained load?

The dual 750 W platinum power supplies set the ceiling; prolonged 3.2 GHz turbo on all 28 cores can trip the supply protection before the 2U cooling reaches its limit.
