Dual 18-core Xeon server for enterprise workloads

The PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors, each with 18 cores running at 2.3 GHz and a 3.6 GHz turbo frequency. It targets midsize and large organisations running databases, virtual desktop infrastructure, data warehouses or high-performance computing nodes. The system ships with 256 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules.

24-bay storage headroom with H730 RAID

Twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays connect to a Dell PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache, supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes. Two 400 GB SATA SSDs are installed, leaving twenty-two bays open for additional SAS or SATA drives. Memory capacity scales to 1.5 TB across 24 slots, so compute-heavy workloads can grow without a platform change.

Redundant 750 W platinum power and remote management

Dual hot-swap 750 W platinum-efficiency power supplies provide N+1 redundancy for continuous operation. The Intel X520/I350 daughter card delivers two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports for flexible network connectivity. iDRAC 8 Enterprise enables full out-of-band management, monitoring and remote console access. Ready rails and a front bezel are included for rack mounting.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.3 GHz 18-core Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors work with my existing LGA 2011-3 motherboards?

Both CPUs use the LGA 2011-3 socket and the C610 chipset, matching boards built for that platform.

How do I confirm the PERC H730 controller and iDRAC8 Enterprise are active after installation?

Check the BIOS for the H730 RAID menu and log into iDRAC8 via its dedicated network port for remote management.

Does the shipment include the 2 x 400 GB SATA SSDs, 256 GB DDR4 memory, bezel and rails, or must I buy them separately?

The server comes with two 400 GB SATA SSDs, 256 GB DDR4 ECC memory, front bezel and ready rails already installed.
