Dual 18-Core Xeon 2U Server

The DELL PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for midsize and large enterprise workloads. It runs two Intel Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors at 2.3 GHz with 18 cores each and 3.6 GHz turbo. The system includes 64 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across four 16 GB modules and a PERC H730 1 GB storage controller with battery backup.

Storage-Dense Virtualisation and Database Nodes

This configuration suits teams that need high core counts and dense 2.5-inch drive capacity in a 2U form factor for virtualisation, databases or HPC data nodes. The 24-bay chassis and dual 10 Gb SFP+ ports support throughput-heavy tasks. Buyers who want more storage bays than 24 or who require a different processor generation should evaluate other platforms.

Rack-Ready with Redundant Power and Remote

The server ships with two 750 W platinum power supplies, ready rails and a front bezel for immediate rack installation. iDRAC 8 Enterprise provides out-of-band remote management. The H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through, freeing the CPUs from parity calculations. The quad-port network daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections.

Questions about this item

Will the 2× Xeon E5-2699 v3 2.3 GHz 18-core CPUs fit in my existing LGA 2011-3 dual-socket motherboard?

These processors require an LGA 2011-3 socket and the Intel C610 chipset, so they will only work in a board designed for that platform.

Can the Dell PERC H730 controller manage my older 2.5″ SATA SSDs alongside the two installed 800 GB SATA SSDs?

The H730 supports SAS and SATA drives in the same 24-bay chassis and handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across mixed drive sets.

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

The iDRAC8 Enterprise port will show a link light and responds to its default IP over the dedicated management network once the system completes POST.
