PowerEdge R730xd 2U 12-bay server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server equipped with 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 1 GB storage controller. Twelve 3.5-inch 4 TB SATA hard drives are installed, providing high-capacity internal storage for data-intensive applications.

Suited for dense storage workloads

This configuration fits organisations running data warehouses, virtual desktop infrastructure, databases or high-performance computing data nodes that benefit from large spindle counts and dual-socket compute. The quad-port network daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links for flexible connectivity. Buyers who need solid-state performance tiers, GPU-accelerated compute density or a single-socket platform should look elsewhere.

PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache

The installed PERC H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode, backed by a battery-protected 1 GB cache. This single component determines the range of redundancy and performance profiles available across the twelve drive bays. Verify that the RAID levels and cache size match your application requirements before purchase.

Questions about this item

Will the 12 installed 4 TB SATA drives work with my existing PERC H730 controller?

Yes. The server ships with a Dell PERC H730 1 GB controller that supports 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA, matching the 12 installed 4 TB 7.2 K SATA drives.

Can I keep my current DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC modules when adding memory to the 24 slots?

The system already has 768 GB (24 × 32 GB) of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC installed, filling all 24 slots; any further expansion would require replacing modules.

How do I verify the iDRAC 8 Enterprise remote management is active after first boot?

During POST the iDRAC 8 Enterprise IP address appears on screen; open that address in a browser and log in with the default credentials to confirm the interface loads.
