Server overview

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for data-intensive workloads such as databases, virtual desktop infrastructure and high-performance computing. It ships with dual 10-core Xeon processors running at 2.6 GHz, 512 GB of DDR4 memory and twenty-four 2.4 TB SAS hard drives.

Setup requirements

Verify that your rack provides a 2U slot with front-to-rear airflow and that the power distribution units can supply two 750 W connections. The system uses an LGA 2011-3 socket and DDR4 registered ECC modules; confirm your existing memory matches this specification before adding more.

Sustained operation

Dual redundant power supplies and hot-swap drive bays keep the array running during component replacement. The PERC H730 controller with battery-backed cache maintains write performance across RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 volumes. Quad-port networking with two 10 Gb SFP+ links sustains throughput for storage-heavy traffic.

Questions about this item

What is included with the server and what must be purchased separately?

The system ships with two Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors, 512GB DDR4 memory in 16 modules, 24 SAS hard drives, PERC H730 controller, X520/I350 network daughter card, iDRAC8 Enterprise, two 750W power supplies, rails and bezel. Additional drives, memory or PCIe cards are not included.

Should I choose the 2.4TB SAS drives or a different capacity?

This unit is configured with 24 factory-installed 2.4TB 10K SAS drives and the H730 controller supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60. Select this configuration when you need maximum spindle count and raw capacity in a 2U chassis.

What does the 512GB DDR4 figure mean for actual workloads?

512GB of registered ECC DDR4 at 2133MHz fills 16 of 24 DIMM slots, leaving room to expand to the 1.5TB maximum for larger virtualisation clusters or in-memory databases.
