Purpose-built density

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server fitted with two 14-core Xeon processors running at 2.4 GHz and 768 GB of DDR4 memory. Twenty-four 800 GB SATA SSDs sit behind a PERC H730 controller that supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. A quad-port network daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections. iDRAC 8 Enterprise provides remote management.

Verify rack and power

Confirm the cabinet accepts a 2U chassis and that the rails supplied match the mounting depth. Two 750 W platinum power supplies require compatible PDU outlets and sufficient circuit capacity for redundant operation. The LGA 2011-3 socket and C610 chipset limit future CPU upgrades to the same processor family. Memory slots total 24, with a 1.5 TB ceiling using registered ECC DDR4 modules.

Included rails, bezel and iDRAC

Ready Rails and the front bezel arrive fitted, reducing installation time in standard racks. iDRAC 8 Enterprise enables out-of-band console access, firmware updates and hardware monitoring without an operating system. The PERC H730 battery backs cached writes during power loss, protecting array integrity. The SFP+ ports need compatible transceivers and fibre or direct-attach cables, which are not supplied.

Questions about this item

Does the server include all 24 drive bays populated with the 800GB SSDs, or must I purchase additional drives separately?

All 24 bays are filled with 800GB SATA SSDs, the PERC H730 controller with battery is installed, and the system ships with two 750W platinum power supplies, rails and a front bezel.

Should I choose the 768GB DDR4 configuration or add more memory up to the 1.5TB maximum?

The 768GB (24x 32GB DDR4 2400MHz ECC) uses every one of the 24 slots; expanding to 1.5TB requires replacing modules with higher-capacity DDR4 DIMMs.

What does the 2.4GHz base clock with 3.3GHz turbo mean for real-world throughput on the dual 14-core Xeons?

Twenty-eight cores run at 2.4GHz sustained, boosting to 3.3GHz on active cores, so heavily threaded workloads such as databases or virtualisation see consistent multi-thread performance.
