2U rack server with dual Xeon processors

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rackmount server system designed for midsize and large enterprise workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3 processors running at 2.4 GHz with 6 cores each. The system includes 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 16 modules. Two 800 GB SATA SSDs and a PERC H730 storage controller provide the primary storage foundation.

Suits virtualisation and database nodes.

This configuration suits environments running virtual desktop infrastructure, databases, or data-warehouse nodes that benefit from high memory capacity and dual-processor performance. The 24 DIMM slots allow expansion up to 1.5 TB of DDR4. Buyers who need more than two physical processors must select a different platform, as this model supports a maximum of two sockets.

PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache drives RAID

The installed Dell PERC H730 controller offers 1 GB of battery-backed cache and supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. It manages both SAS and SATA drives through the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis. This controller choice determines the RAID options and drive protocols available for the storage array.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the PERC H730 controller is operational after powering on the R730xd?

During POST the controller BIOS will display its firmware version and the two installed 800GB SSDs should appear as a logical volume if RAID is configured; iDRAC8 Enterprise also reports controller health and drive status remotely.

Which components are included with the server and which must be purchased separately?

The unit ships with two Xeon E5-2620 v3 processors, 512GB DDR4 (16×32GB), H730 1GB controller, two 800GB SATA SSDs, X520/I350 quad-port network card, iDRAC8 Enterprise, two 750W PSUs, bezel and rails; additional drives or memory must be bought separately.

Should I choose the 512GB DDR4 configuration or add more memory up to the 1.5TB maximum?

The 512GB (16×32GB) kit fills 16 of 24 slots leaving room for eight more modules; select the higher capacity only if your workloads such as virtualization or databases need more than 512GB of registered ECC DDR4.
