2U rack server with 24 hot-plug bays

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server built around dual Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 eight-core processors running at 2.4 GHz. It ships with 16 GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots and three 300 GB 15 K SAS drives managed by a PERC H730 RAID controller. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and a DVD-ROM complete the configuration.

Suited for dense storage arrays.

This platform suits teams that need up to 24 x 2.5-inch hot-plug SAS or SATA drives behind a hardware RAID engine supporting levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. The six PCIe 3.0 slots plus a dedicated RAID slot allow additional I/O cards, but the chassis lacks the power and thermal headroom for double-width GPU accelerators. Buyers who need GPU compute or single-thread speeds above the installed CPU frequency should evaluate other form factors.

24-bay 2.5-inch hot-plug capacity is the deciding

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch hot-plug backplane that delivers up to 52 TB of raw SAS or SATA capacity in 2U. Memory can scale to 1 536 GB across 24 slots using DDR4 modules up to 2 400 MT/s, and the iDRAC8 remote-management module provides out-of-band control. If the workload fits within 24 drives and dual-socket Xeon performance, this server matches the requirement.

Questions about this item

How much total memory can the 24 DDR4 slots accept?

The board supports up to 1536 GB across its 24 DDR4 DIMM slots when populated with compatible modules.

What thermal load should I plan for with dual 750 W redundant supplies running continuously?

Two 750 W hot-swap power supplies share the load; sustained draw will stay within their combined capacity under normal operation.

Which remote-management card is fitted for out-of-band access?

The system includes iDRAC8 Express on a dedicated daughter card for remote console and lifecycle control.
