Dual Xeon 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for capacity-focused workloads. It ships with two Xeon E5-2620 v3 processors at 2.4 GHz, 128 GB of DDR4 ECC memory and twelve 3.5-inch 8 TB SATA drives. The PERC H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60.

Tool-less rails and hot-swap bays

The chassis includes ready rails for tool-less rack mounting and a front bezel. All twelve drive bays are hot-swappable and the two 750 W platinum power supplies are hot-swap redundant. The iDRAC8 Enterprise module provides out-of-band remote management. Installation is straightforward if the rack depth and power distribution match the 2U form factor.

Verify rack depth, power and network needs

Confirm the rack can accommodate a 2U server with the required mounting depth and that PDU outlets suit dual 750 W supplies. The network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports; ensure compatible transceivers and cabling are available. Memory uses DDR4 RDIMMs across 24 slots with a 1.5 TB maximum.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the PERC H730 controller and both Xeon E5-2620 v3 processors are detected after powering on the R730xd?

During POST the system will list each CPU at 2.40 GHz with 6 cores and show the H730 with its 1 GB cache; iDRAC 8 Enterprise then reports both CPUs, 128 GB DDR4 across 24 slots and all 12 drive bays as healthy.

What ships with the server and which items must be sourced separately?

The box includes the 2U chassis, 2 x 750 W platinum PSUs, ready rails, front bezel, the X520/I350 quad-port daughter card and the 12 installed 8 TB 3.5" SATA drives; operating system licences and any extra memory modules are not included.

Which memory configuration should I choose if I need room to grow beyond the factory 128 GB?

The system arrives with 8 x 16 GB DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC DIMMs occupying 8 of 24 slots, leaving 16 free slots to reach the 1.5 TB maximum without removing existing modules.
