PowerEdge R730xd 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for dense storage and compute. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors running at 2.0GHz with 14 cores each. The system includes 768GB of DDR4 memory across 24 slots and a PERC H730 controller with 1GB cache. Dual 750W power supplies provide redundancy.

Suits virtualisation and database nodes

This configuration fits teams running virtual desktop infrastructure, databases or data-warehouse workloads that benefit from the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis. The quad-port network card with two 10Gb SFP+ ports supports high-throughput east-west traffic. Buyers who need solid-state performance or more than two processors should evaluate other platforms. The installed 300GB SAS drives offer capacity for boot or scratch space only.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS chassis

The defining specification is the 24-bay front panel that accepts 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives behind the H730 controller. This density determines how much local storage the server can hold without expansion shelves. The 2U height and included rails let it mount in standard racks immediately.

Questions about this item

What RAID modes does the H730 12Gb/s SAS controller support?

The PERC H730 handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through for non-RAID use.

What physical space and mounting hardware does the 2U chassis require?

The server is a 2U rack unit and ships with Ready Rails and a front bezel for installation.

How are the two Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors and 768GB of DDR4 memory installed, and what step is often missed?

Both 14-core CPUs are pre-installed in the dual LGA 2011-3 sockets; the 24 DIMM slots are fully populated with 32GB modules, so no further memory installation is needed.
