2U Rack Server with Dual 14‑Core Xeon

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack‑mount server system built for midsize and large enterprise workloads. Two Intel Xeon E5‑2660 v4 processors run at 2.0 GHz with 3.2 GHz turbo across 28 total cores. 64 GB of DDR4‑2400 registered ECC memory is installed across four 16 GB modules in a 24‑slot chassis.

Suits Virtualisation and Storage‑Heavy Roles

This platform fits organisations running virtual desktop infrastructure, databases, data‑warehouse nodes or high‑performance computing tasks that benefit from dense 3.5‑inch drive capacity. Buyers needing more than two processor sockets, more than 1.5 TB of memory, or a smaller form factor should consider other options.

12‑Bay 3.5″ SAS/SATA Drive Configuration

Twelve hot‑swap trays accept SAS or SATA hard drives and are managed by a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. The storage controller choice determines whether the server can meet your capacity and redundancy requirements.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 12 3.5″ drive trays and which step is often missed?

Slide each tray into the front bays until the latch clicks; the step often missed is seating the tray fully so the SAS/SATA connector engages the backplane.

Which components will need replacement first during long-term operation?

The two 750 W hot-swap power supplies and the PERC H730 controller battery are the items most likely to require replacement over time.

What thermal or power limit appears first when the dual Xeon E5-2660 v4 CPUs run at 3.2 GHz turbo continuously?

The 750 W redundant power supplies set the ceiling; sustained 3.2 GHz turbo on both 14-core processors can hit that limit before thermal throttling activates.
