PowerEdge R730xd 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack-mount server system built for data-intensive workloads. Two Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3 processors running at 2.4 GHz with a 3.2 GHz turbo frequency deliver 12 cores total. The system ships with 128 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across 8 modules, leaving 16 slots open for expansion up to 1.5 TB. A PERC H730 storage controller with 1 GB cache manages the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis.

Suited for virtualisation and database nodes.

This configuration targets midsize and large enterprise environments running virtual desktop infrastructure, data warehousing, e-commerce platforms and high-performance computing data nodes. The quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections for flexible fabric integration. iDRAC 8 Enterprise enables full remote management. Organisations needing GPU acceleration for AI training or workstations requiring desktop-class single-thread speed should evaluate alternative platforms.

Dual 750 W platinum supplies sustain full load

Redundant hot-swap 750 watt platinum-efficiency power supplies maintain operation during sustained compute and storage throughput. The H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode for software-defined storage stacks. Dual Xeon thermal design keeps both CPUs at rated frequency during prolonged database scans or VDI boot storms. Rails and front bezel are included for immediate rack deployment.

Questions about this item

Will the PERC H730 controller work with my existing 2.5" SATA SSDs?

The H730 supports SATA and SAS drives in the 24 2.5" bays, so your current SATA SSDs will be recognised and can be configured in any supported RAID level.

Do the dual Xeon E5-2620 v3 CPUs require DDR4 ECC registered modules to run?

Yes, the system uses DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory; the installed 128 GB consists of eight 16 GB modules and all 24 slots expect the same type.

How can I confirm the iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management is active after first boot?

During POST the iDRAC IP address is displayed; connect a browser to that address and the Enterprise licence will be shown on the dashboard.
