Dual Xeon 14-core 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack-mount server system designed for dense storage and compute workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors running at 2.4 GHz with 14 cores each. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules. Dual 750 W platinum hot-swap power supplies provide redundancy.

Suited for virtualisation

This configuration fits organisations running databases, virtual desktop infrastructure or high-performance computing data nodes. The twelve 3.5-inch drive bays and PERC H730 controller support large-capacity SAS or SATA arrays. Buyers who need more than two processor sockets or memory beyond 1.5 TB should evaluate other architectures.

12-bay 3.5-inch chassis with H730 RAID

The defining specification is the twelve 3.5-inch hot-swap trays paired with the PERC H730 1 GB controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. This combination determines how much local storage can be installed and which redundancy levels are available. Network connectivity includes two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports via an Intel X520/I350 daughter card.

Questions about this item

Will my existing LGA 2011-3 Xeon processors work alongside the two E5-2680 v4 CPUs already installed?

The server uses two LGA 2011-3 sockets, both occupied by E5-2680 v4 processors, so no additional CPUs can be added without removing one.

How can I verify the PERC H730 controller and X520/I350 network card are functioning after installation?

During POST the H730 BIOS utility and the X520/I350 option ROM will each display their firmware versions and port status, confirming both adapters are detected.

Which drive trays and rails are included, and do I need to buy caddies or mounting hardware separately?

The chassis comes with 12x 3.5" SAS/SATA trays and ready rails; no extra caddies or rail kits are required for rack mounting.
