Dual Xeon E5-2680 v3 compute node

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built around two 12-core Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors running at 2.5 GHz with a 3.3 GHz turbo frequency. It targets midsize and large enterprises that run data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure, databases or high-performance computing workloads where dense storage and strong multi-threaded performance are required.

768 GB DDR4 with 1.5 TB ceiling

The system ships with 768 GB of registered ECC DDR4-2133 memory populated across all 24 DIMM slots using 32 GB modules. This configuration leaves no free slots for expansion; the platform maximum is 1.5 TB, so any growth demands replacing existing modules. Twelve 3.5-inch SAS/SATA drive trays connect to a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes.

Dual 750 W platinum supplies with iDRAC8

Redundant hot-swap 750 watt platinum-efficiency power supplies deliver N+1 resilience for the fully populated chassis. The Intel X520/I350 daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports for flexible network connectivity. iDRAC 8 Enterprise enables full out-of-band remote management including virtual console, power control and hardware monitoring without loading the host operating system.

Questions about this item

Will the 12-core Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors at 2.5 GHz work with my existing DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC modules?

Yes, the server uses DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 slots, so your existing modules of that type will be compatible.

How can I verify the PERC H730 controller and iDRAC8 Enterprise are operating correctly after installation?

During POST the H730 BIOS will list attached drives and RAID status, while iDRAC8 Enterprise provides a dedicated web interface for sensor readings, firmware versions and remote console access.

The listing shows 12 drive trays but no drives — what else must I purchase to populate the bays?

You need to buy 3.5-inch SAS or SATA hard drives or SSDs separately; the 12 included trays accept either interface and the H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60.
