Dual-socket Xeon server for data-intensive workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors running at 2.6 GHz with eight cores each. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and a PERC H730 storage controller with 1 GB cache. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management come standard.

Suits virtualization hosts

This configuration fits teams running virtual desktop infrastructure, data-warehouse nodes, or HPC storage tiers that benefit from 24 drive bays and quad-port 1/10 GbE networking. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, single-thread frequencies above 3.4 GHz, or more than 1.5 TB of RAM should look at alternative platforms.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS/SATA chassis with H730 RAID

The defining spec is the 24-bay front panel that accepts 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives behind a PERC H730 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Two 300 GB 10K SAS drives are installed; the backplane and controller determine how many additional drives you can add and which RAID levels are available.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 24 DDR4 DIMMs in the 24 memory slots without leaving gaps?

Populate all 24 slots with the 32 GB modules in matching pairs per CPU socket, following the R730xd memory population guide so each channel is balanced and no slot is skipped.

When will the PERC H730 controller battery need replacement?

The 1 GB RAID controller battery typically lasts three to five years; the iDRAC8 Enterprise dashboard will flag a degraded battery so you can hot-swap it without downtime.

At what point does the 750 W platinum power supply hit its limit under full CPU and drive load?

Dual 2.6 GHz 8-core Xeons plus 24 DIMMs and 24 SAS drives can draw close to the 750 W rating, so sustained peak workloads leave minimal headroom before the PSU reaches capacity.
