Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd packs two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors, each with 14 cores at 2.4 GHz, into a 2U rack chassis. Sixty-four gigabytes of DDR4 registered ECC memory and a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache drive twenty-four 300 GB 10 K SAS drives. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies, quad-port networking and iDRAC8 Enterprise complete the platform.

Suited for capacity-hungry workloads

This configuration fits databases, virtual desktop infrastructure, data-warehouse nodes and high-performance computing storage tiers that need many spindles in a compact rack footprint. It is not for buyers who need solid-state latency, more than 1.5 TB of memory, or a server that accepts more than two processors.

Twenty-four bay 2.5-inch SAS capacity

The chassis provides twenty-four hot-swap 2.5-inch bays wired to a 12 Gb/s SAS backplane and the H730 RAID controller. That bay count and controller combination is the single specification that determines whether the system can hold the required number of spinning drives.

Questions about this item

What rack mounting hardware is included with this 2U server?

Ready Rails and a front bezel are included with the PowerEdge R730xd for rack installation.

What is the correct order for installing the two Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors into the LGA 2011-3 sockets?

Install the first processor into CPU socket 1 before populating CPU socket 2, as the system requires the primary socket to be filled first.

Which component on the PERC H730 storage controller will require replacement to maintain RAID cache protection?

The battery on the PERC H730 1GB controller backs the RAID cache and will need replacement when it reaches end of life.
