2U dual-socket server for data-intensive workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd fits in a 2U rack space and ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors, each running at 2.3 GHz with 18 cores. It includes 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules. The system targets midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, virtual desktop infrastructure, databases or high-performance computing nodes.

Check rack space, drive inventory

The chassis provides 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch trays for SATA or SAS drives, but no drives are installed. Verify that your rack can accept a 2U unit and that you have compatible drives ready. Two redundant 750 W power supplies require matching PDU connections. The X520/I350 daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports, so confirm SFP+ modules and cabling are available.

Dual 750 W supplies handle peak load with headroom

Platinum-efficiency power supplies share the load and maintain operation if one unit fails. The PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache and battery-backed write cache manages RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. iDRAC 8 Enterprise provides out-of-band monitoring and remote control without loading the host CPUs.

Questions about this item

Does the server come with any drives or do I need to supply my own 2.5" SAS/SATA disks?

The unit includes 24 empty 2.5" drive trays; no hard drives or SSDs are installed, so you must provide your own SAS or SATA drives.

Which RAID levels does the PERC H730 controller support for the 24-bay chassis?

The H730 supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode, giving full flexibility across all 24 bays.

What turbo speed can the dual Xeon E5-2699 v3 CPUs reach under load?

Each 18-core processor has a 3.6 GHz maximum turbo frequency, so the pair can burst to that speed when thermal headroom allows.
