PowerEdge R730xd 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for data-intensive workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors running at 2.5 GHz with 3.3 GHz turbo across 24 total cores. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory and a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache.

Storage-focused 24-bay chassis

This server suits organisations that need dense local storage in a compact form factor. The 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis holds two 300 GB 10K SAS drives and supports SAS or SATA media. Buyers who need more drive bays, all-flash configurations or GPU compute density should evaluate other platforms.

Dual 750 W platinum power supplies

Redundant hot-swap 750 W platinum power supplies are included as standard. The pair delivers full failover protection for the dual-processor, 24-bay configuration without requiring additional power infrastructure.

Questions about this item

How far can the 128GB DDR4 memory be expanded before hitting the board limit?

The system has 24 DIMM slots and a maximum capacity of 1.5TB, so the installed 8x 16GB modules leave 16 slots open for further upgrades.

What thermal and acoustic load should be expected from the dual 750W platinum supplies and two 12-core CPUs running continuously?

Dual platinum supplies run efficiently, but two 12-core Xeons at 2.5 GHz with 3.3 GHz turbo generate significant heat; the 2U chassis uses high-speed fans that become audible under sustained load.

Which cabling and modules are needed to use the on-board 10Gb SFP+ ports?

The Intel X520/I350 daughter card provides two 10Gb SFP+ ports; you must supply compatible SFP+ transceivers and fibre or direct-attach cables for each link.
