PowerEdge R730xd 2U 12-bay server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server with twelve 3.5-inch drive bays. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors running at 2.4 GHz with 14 cores each. The system includes 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots. A PERC H730 storage controller manages the twelve installed 6 TB SATA hard drives.

Suits dense storage workloads.

This configuration targets workloads that need high capacity in a compact rack footprint such as data warehouses, virtual desktop infrastructure or database nodes. The quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections. Builders who need all-flash performance or GPU acceleration should look at a different platform.

PERC H730 RAID controller with battery-backed cache

The PERC H730 mini card supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. Its 1 GB battery-backed cache protects in-flight data during power loss. This controller choice determines which drive types and RAID levels are available for the twelve SATA bays.

Questions about this item

Will the dual Xeon E5-2680 v4 14-core CPUs work with my existing DDR4 2400 MHz ECC DIMMs?

The system runs 768 GB across 24 slots of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC. Your modules must match that speed and type to be compatible.

How can I confirm the PERC H730 controller and all 12 drive bays are healthy after installation?

Use iDRAC8 Enterprise to view controller firmware, battery status and each 6 TB drive's SMART data; the front LCD will also show any faults.

Which accessories ship with the server and which must be sourced separately?

The box includes the 2U chassis, bezel, sliding rails, two 750 W PSUs, quad-port X520/I350 card and all 12 drives installed; SFP+ transceivers and OS licences are not included.
