Dual Xeon E5-2699 v4 22-core server

The DELL PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack system built for midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, VDI or HPC data nodes. Two Intel Xeon E5-2699 v4 processors deliver 44 total cores at 2.2 GHz with 3.6 GHz turbo. The 512 GB DDR4 registered ECC memory uses 16 modules of 32 GB each at 2400 MHz.

Upgrade from single-socket or lower-core systems

This configuration replaces single-processor servers or dual-socket boxes with fewer than 22 cores per CPU when workloads need higher thread counts and larger memory capacity. The jump is worth it when database or virtualisation density demands the full 1.5 TB maximum memory limit across 24 slots and 24 drive bays for local storage.

Tool-less rails and hot-swap components simplify

Ready Rails and a front bezel are included for quick rack mounting. Redundant hot-swap 750 W platinum power supplies and hot-swap 2.5-inch SAS drives allow service without downtime. The PERC H730 controller battery must be seated correctly or RAID write-back caching will stay disabled.

Questions about this item

What rack hardware comes with the 2U chassis for mounting?

Ready rails and a front bezel are included for installation in a standard rack.

How are the 24 drive bays populated, and what step is often missed during the controller setup?

All 24 bays hold 300 GB 10K SAS drives; the H730 controller battery must be seated and the RAID virtual disks initialised before the OS sees the array.

What memory upgrades are possible later, and how many slots remain free?

The system uses 16 × 32 GB DDR4 modules filling 16 of 24 slots; up to 1.5 TB total can be installed using the eight remaining slots.
