Dual 14-core Xeon 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for midsize and large enterprise workloads. Two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors at 2.4 GHz with 14 cores each provide 28 threads total. 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory fills all 24 DIMM slots.

Virtualisation, databases and VDI.

The server suits virtualisation, databases, VDI and high-performance computing nodes. Buyers who need higher single-thread clock speeds or fewer cores for lightly threaded applications should look elsewhere.

24-bay 2.5-inch drive capacity

The chassis holds 24 hot-swap 2.5-inch drives and ships with two 800 GB SATA SSDs. The PERC H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with a 1 GB cache battery. Only SATA and SAS interfaces are available on the installed drives.

Questions about this item

Do the 24 memory slots come filled, or do I need to buy DDR4 modules to reach 768 GB?

The server ships with 768 GB installed across 24 slots using 32 GB DDR4 registered ECC modules, so no additional memory is required for the listed capacity.

Can the PERC H730 controller manage the existing 800 GB SATA SSDs together with larger SAS drives I might add later?

The H730 supports mixed SAS and SATA drives in the same array, allowing you to combine the installed 800 GB SSDs with additional SAS or SATA drives up to the 24-bay limit.

How can I confirm the iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management is active after the server powers on?

During POST the iDRAC8 Enterprise IP address is displayed; you can then open a browser to that address and log in to verify the remote console, virtual media and health monitoring functions.
