Dell PowerEdge R730xd 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack-mount server built for data-intensive workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v3 10-core processors running at 2.6 GHz and 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory. A PERC H730 RAID controller manages 24 hot-swap 1.2 TB SAS hard drives. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 8 Enterprise remote management are included.

Virtualisation hosts and storage-heavy workloads

This configuration suits virtualisation clusters, database nodes and high-performance computing tasks that benefit from dense 2.5-inch drive bays and dual-processor throughput. Organisations needing solid-state media, a single-socket design or a smaller 1U footprint should evaluate alternative platforms. The system supports SAS and SATA drives through the H730 controller.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS storage capacity

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis populated with 1.2 TB 10 K SAS drives, delivering high spindle-count capacity in a 2U form factor. The PERC H730 controller provides RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through modes. Buyers requiring a different drive count, form factor or interface should select another model.

Questions about this item

What rack depth do the included Ready Rails support for this 2U server?

The Ready Rails supplied with the PowerEdge R730xd are designed for standard 4-post racks with adjustable depth; verify your cabinet’s rail-to-rail measurement before mounting.

How do I install the 24 1.2 TB SAS drives into the front bays without damaging the backplane?

Align each 2.5" carrier with the bay guides, slide it in until the latch engages, then press the release button to lock — forcing a misaligned carrier bends the SAS connector pins.

When should the PERC H730 controller’s 1 GB cache battery be replaced?

The battery typically lasts 3–5 years; iDRAC 8 Enterprise will log a “Battery Degraded” alert when replacement is needed, at which point the controller disables write-back caching to protect data.
