24-bay 2U rack server with dual 14-core Xeons

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack-mounted server system designed for high-density storage and compute workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors, each running at 2.0 GHz with 14 cores. The system includes 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 DIMM slots, supporting up to 1.5 TB total capacity.

Suited for storage-heavy virtualisation

This configuration targets midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure or high-performance computing data nodes. The 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis and dual 750 W redundant power supplies support continuous operation. Buyers who need solid-state media or more than 24 drive bays should look at a different platform.

24 × 300 GB 10 K SAS drives on a PERC H730

Storage is provided by twenty-four enterprise-grade 300 GB 10 000 RPM SAS hard drives connected to a Dell PERC H730 1 GB RAID controller. The controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. Network connectivity includes a quad-port daughter card with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ interfaces, managed remotely via iDRAC 8 Enterprise.

Questions about this item

What rack height and rail kit does the 2U PowerEdge R730xd require?

The server occupies 2U of rack space and ships with Ready Rails for standard square-hole or threaded-hole racks.

How are the two Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors and the 64 GB of DDR4 memory installed, and what step is often missed?

Both CPUs are pre-installed in the two LGA 2011-3 sockets; the four 16 GB DDR4 modules fill the first four DIMM slots — the step often missed is populating slots in the correct channel order for quad-channel performance.

Which components in the R730xd are hot-swappable and will need replacement over time?

The 24 x 300 GB 10K SAS drives, the two 750 W platinum power supplies and the PERC H730 controller battery are all hot-swappable and are the parts most likely to require replacement.
