Dual Xeon E5-2660 v4 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack system with two 14-core Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors at 2.0 GHz and 768 GB of DDR4 ECC memory. It ships with a PERC H730 controller and 24 hot-swap 400 GB SATA SSDs in a 24-bay chassis. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 8 Enterprise provide redundancy and remote management.

Suited for high-capacity SATA workloads.

This server fits buyers who need 24 hot-swap 2.5-inch SATA SSDs behind a single RAID controller with battery-backed cache. It is not for environments that require a pure SAS backplane or more than two processor sockets.

PERC H730 with 1 GB cache and battery

The installed PERC H730 1 GB controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. The battery protects write-cache during power loss, making it the specification that decides if this chassis matches the buyer's data-protection requirements.

Questions about this item

What rack depth and rail clearance do I need to install the 2U R730xd with the included Ready Rails?

The server is a 2U rack-mount chassis that ships with Ready Rails; verify your cabinet provides at least 2U of vertical space and sufficient depth for the rail length before mounting.

Can I keep my existing SATA SSDs and connect them to the PERC H730 controller alongside the 24 installed 400GB drives?

Yes, the PERC H730 supports SATA and SAS interfaces, so additional SATA SSDs can be added to the remaining drive bays and configured in RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60.

How do I confirm the iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management is reachable after initial cabling?

Connect the dedicated iDRAC network port, power on the server, then browse to the IP shown on the front-panel LCD or via DHCP lease; the login screen confirms the interface is active.
