Dual Xeon compute density for data-intensive

The PowerEdge R730xd packs two 10-core Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors running at 2.6 GHz with 3.3 GHz turbo into a 2U rack chassis. It targets midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, VDI, databases or HPC data nodes that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a compact form factor.

Redundant platinum power supplies

Dual 750 W platinum-efficiency PSUs provide redundant hot-swap power for continuous operation. The 2U height accommodates the 24-drive bay layout and dual-processor thermal design while fitting standard rack enclosures.

Twenty-four 2.5-inch SAS bays

The front panel holds 24 enterprise 1.2 TB 10 K SAS drives backed by a PERC H730 1 GB controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. A quad-port network daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links, while iDRAC 8 Enterprise enables remote management. Rails and bezel are included for immediate rack mounting.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 24 2.5-inch SAS drives into the front bays of this 2U rack server, and what step is often missed?

Slide each drive into a bay until the carrier latch clicks; the step often missed is pressing the release button fully so the latch engages and the drive seats on the backplane.

Which components will need replacement first under continuous operation in this server?

The 24 1.2TB 10K SAS hard drives and the two 750W power supplies are the primary field-replaceable units that wear out first.

What thermal or power limit appears first when both Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors run at 3.3GHz turbo under sustained load?

The 750W platinum power supply rating and the 2U chassis airflow ceiling are the first limits reached during prolonged turbo operation.
