2U Rack Server with Dual 14-Core Xeons

This new Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rackmount server system built for midsize and large enterprise workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors, each running at 2.4 GHz with a 3.3 GHz turbo frequency and 14 cores. The platform supports up to two processors in LGA 2011-3 sockets on an Intel C610 chipset.

Suited for High-Capacity SAS Storage Deployments

The chassis provides 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch drive bays, all populated with 2.4 TB 10K SAS hard drives connected to a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache. The controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes. Buyers who need solid-state boot drives, more than 24 drive bays, or a different drive interface should evaluate other platforms.

512 GB DDR4 Registered ECC Across 16 Modules

Installed memory totals 512 GB using 16 modules of 32 GB DDR4-2400 registered ECC, leaving 8 of the 24 DIMM slots free for expansion up to the 1.5 TB maximum. Networking includes a quad-port daughter card with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports. Remote management is handled by iDRAC 8 Enterprise, and dual 750 W platinum power supplies provide redundancy.
