2U rack server with dual Xeon and 12 drive bays

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processors running at 1.9GHz. It ships with 32GB of DDR4 memory and three 600GB 15K SAS drives managed by a PERC H330 RAID controller. This configuration suits organisations deploying virtualisation hosts or storage-heavy workloads in a standard rack environment.

SAS and SATA hot-plug bays with PCIe 3.0 expansion

The chassis provides up to 12 front-accessible 3.5-inch hot-plug bays that accept both SAS and SATA drives, with a maximum raw capacity of 52TB. Internal expansion uses up to six PCIe 3.0 slots plus a dedicated RAID card slot. Networking starts with a daughter card offering four 1GbE ports, while optional NDC modules can add 10GbE connectivity. Remote management is handled by iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller.

Memory ceiling fixed at 32GB by installed DIMMs

Although the platform supports up to 1536GB across 24 DIMM slots, this unit is populated to 32GB and the specification lists the maximum memory capacity as 32GB. Buyers who need more RAM must verify whether additional modules can be added or if the current configuration represents a hard limit for their intended workload.
