Dual Xeon E5-2609 v3 server for dense storage

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack system fitted with two six-core Xeon E5-2609 v3 processors running at 1.9GHz. It ships with 32GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots and three 1TB 7.2K SATA drives managed by a PERC H330 RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60. The chassis provides up to 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch bays for SAS or SATA media.

Sustained throughput with 24-bay expandability

Under continuous load the dual-socket design keeps both CPUs fed through the C610 chipset while the H330 controller maintains parity calculations across large arrays without throttling. Six PCIe 3.0 slots plus a dedicated RAID slot allow additional NICs or HBAs to scale I/O bandwidth as datasets grow beyond the factory three-drive configuration.

Redundant 750W supplies and iDRAC8 management

Twin hot-swap 750W power supplies share the load and keep the system running if one unit fails. The integrated iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller provides out-of-band monitoring, remote console and firmware updates over a dedicated 1GbE link. A Matrox G200eR2 video chip handles local display while the four-port 1GbE daughter card serves production traffic.

Questions about this item

How much heat do the dual Xeon E5-2609 v3 1.9GHz CPUs and 750W redundant power supplies produce when the server runs continuously?

The server uses two 750W redundant power supplies and dual 1.9GHz Xeon processors; actual heat output varies with workload, but the redundant design keeps the system running if one supply fails.

What rack infrastructure is required to mount this 2U server?

The chassis is a 2U rack-mount unit measuring 26.8 inches deep by 17.44 inches wide and weighing 60 lbs; it fits standard 4-post racks with sufficient depth.

Can the H330 RAID controller manage the existing 1TB 7.2K SATA drives together with larger SAS drives I might add later?

The H330 12Gbps controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 across up to 24 x 2.5-inch hot-plug bays for both SATA and SAS drives.
