  • Dual 14-core Xeon processors at 2.0 GHz with 3.2 GHz turbo for heavy workloads
  • 512 GB DDR4 ECC memory across 16 slots supports large virtualisation deployments
  • PERC H730 RAID controller with battery backs RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 for data protection

  • Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise ensure uptime and remote control

Dense 2U compute node

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd packs two 14-core Xeon processors and 512GB of DDR4 into a 2U rack chassis with 24 drive bays. It targets midsize and large enterprises running virtual desktop infrastructure, databases or high-performance computing data nodes.

Tool-less rail install

Ready Rails and a front bezel ship with the unit for quick rack mounting. Hot-swap power supplies and drive carriers simplify service, but the 24-bay front panel leaves limited space for additional PCIe cards beyond the installed quad-port network daughter card.

512GB memory ceiling

Sixteen 32GB modules fill 16 of 24 slots, leaving room to grow toward the 1.5TB maximum. Two 300GB 10K SAS drives provide fast boot storage; capacity-heavy workloads will need more drives or larger SAS media to avoid running out of space.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the two Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors and 512GB DDR4 are detected after powering on the R730xd?

During POST the BIOS lists both 14-core CPUs at 2.0GHz and shows 512GB registered ECC memory across the 24 DIMM slots; iDRAC 8 Enterprise then reports the same inventory in its System Overview page.

Which components ship with the server and which must be sourced separately?

The unit includes 2x 300GB 10K SAS drives, H730 1GB RAID controller with battery, X520/I350 quad-port NIC (2x 1GbE + 2x 10Gb SFP+), iDRAC 8 Enterprise, 2x 750W platinum PSUs, rails and bezel; additional 2.5" SAS/SATA drives or memory modules are not included.

Should I choose the 512GB DDR4 configuration or add more memory up to the 1.5TB limit?

The system arrives with 16x 32GB DDR4 2400MHz modules filling 16 of 24 slots; if your workload needs more than 512GB you can populate the remaining 8 slots with matching registered ECC DIMMs up to the 1.5TB maximum.
