Dual-socket Xeon rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server with two Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors running at 2.6 GHz, each with eight cores. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and twelve 8 TB 7.2K SATA hard drives managed by a PERC H730 controller. This configuration targets enterprises running databases, virtual desktop infrastructure or data-warehouse workloads.

Compatibility checklist

Verify that your rack provides 2U of vertical space and can deliver sufficient cooling for dual 750 W platinum power supplies. Confirm the LGA 2011-3 socket and Intel C610 chipset match any planned CPU upgrades, and ensure your network infrastructure supports the quad-port daughter card with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections.

Included accessories

Sliding Ready Rails simplify installation in standard four-post racks, while the front bezel provides a clean appearance and basic physical security. The iDRAC 8 Enterprise licence enables full remote management including virtual console, power control and hardware monitoring without an additional subscription. The PERC H730 battery backs the 1 GB cache to protect data during unexpected power loss.

Questions about this item

Does the server ship with all 12 drive bays populated or must I add drives separately?

All 12 bays come filled with 8 TB 7.2 K SATA drives, so no additional drives are required for the listed capacity.

Is the installed 768 GB the maximum memory this model can take?

The system supports up to 1.5 TB across 24 DDR4 slots; 768 GB uses 24 × 32 GB modules, leaving room to expand later.

What RAID levels can the PERC H730 controller handle with the 12 installed drives?

The H730 supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, giving a choice of redundancy or capacity across the 12 × 8 TB array.
