Dell PowerEdge R730XD 2U rack server

This Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack-mount server system built for dense storage workloads. It ships with dual Intel Xeon E5-2630v3 eight-core processors running at 2.4GHz and 32GB of DDR4 memory. Three 300GB 15K SAS drives and a PERC H330 RAID controller provide the storage foundation.

Suits storage-heavy workloads needing hot-swap bays

The chassis supports up to twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug SAS or SATA drives, making it a fit for archive, backup or database servers that prioritise capacity over flash speed. Redundant 750W power supplies and iDRAC8 remote management aid uptime. Buyers who need more than twelve drive bays should consider other platforms.

24 DDR4 DIMM slots with 32GB installed

The board provides 24 DDR4 slots, twelve per processor, with 32GB populated from the factory. Maximum supported capacity reaches 1536GB using 4GB to 128GB modules up to 2400MT/s, actual speed depending on the installed CPUs. This ceiling determines whether the system can grow with your memory footprint.

Questions about this item

What PCIe generation does the H330 RAID controller use and what throughput does that limit the 12Gbps SAS drives to?

The H330 connects over PCIe 3.0, so the 12Gbps SAS drives are capped at the PCIe 3.0 x8 lane bandwidth of roughly 8GB/s in practice.

What rack depth and rail kit does the 2U chassis require for mounting?

The chassis is 26.8 inches deep and 17.44 inches wide; it needs a standard 4-post rack with at least 28 inches of usable depth and Dell ReadyRails sliding rails for tool-less installation.

How do you initially configure the iDRAC8 network settings before the OS loads?

Press F2 at the iDRAC8 boot prompt, set a static IPv4 address, netmask and gateway on the dedicated management port, then save — skipping this step leaves the controller unreachable for remote management.
