Server configuration

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 eight-core processor running at 2.4GHz. It ships with 128GB of DDR4 memory installed across 24 DIMM slots and includes a Dell PERC H330 RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60. The chassis provides 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch drive bays for SAS or SATA drives.

Compatibility checks

Verify that your rack can accommodate a 2U unit measuring 26.8 inches deep, 17.44 inches wide and 3.4 inches high. Ensure you have appropriate rails for mounting and that your power distribution can supply two 750W redundant hot-swap power supplies. Confirm the single-processor configuration meets your workload requirements before ordering additional CPUs or memory modules.

Included accessories

A DVD-ROM drive and a power cable are supplied with the server. The iDRAC8 Express remote management module is fitted as standard for out-of-band administration. No hard drives, drive trays, rail kit or operating system are included, so these must be sourced separately to complete the deployment.

Questions about this item

Does the server include any drive trays or hard drives, or must I purchase 2.5" SAS or SATA drives and caddies separately?

The unit ships with no hard drives and no drive trays. You must supply up to 24 x 2.5" hot-plug SAS or SATA drives and the matching caddies yourself.

The spec lists 128 GB installed and a 1536 GB maximum — which capacity should I choose if I need room to grow later?

The 128 GB already fills the 24 DIMM slots at the processor's supported speed. To exceed 128 GB you must replace modules, so select the final capacity you need at purchase.

With a single E5-2630 v3 at 2.4 GHz and the H330 controller, what RAID levels can I actually run on the 24-bay backplane?

The H330 supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 across all 24 bays; the single 8-core processor provides 16 threads for parity calculations.
