Dual 14-Core Xeon Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for data-intensive workloads such as databases, virtual desktop infrastructure and high-performance computing nodes. Dual Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors run at 2.4 GHz with a 3.3 GHz turbo frequency, providing 28 cores in total. Sixty-four gigabytes of DDR4 registered ECC memory is installed across four 16 GB modules.

Hot-Swap Drive and Rail Installation

Twelve 3.5-inch drive bays support hot-swap SATA drives; the twelve 8 TB enterprise disks are already fitted and managed by a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache. The controller handles RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. Ready Rails and a front bezel are included for standard rack mounting; verify rail depth against your cabinet before fitting.

Memory, Power and Network Compatibility

The system has 24 DDR4 slots and a maximum memory capacity of 1.5 TB, so additional registered ECC modules can be added later. Two 750 W platinum hot-swap power supplies provide redundancy; confirm your rack PDU connectors match the supply inputs. A quad-port network daughter card supplies two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links; ensure your switch has compatible SFP+ transceivers.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the PERC H730 controller is managing all 12 drive bays correctly after setup?

Open the PERC H730 BIOS utility during boot and confirm all 12 bays show as online with the desired RAID level; iDRAC 8 Enterprise also displays drive health and controller status remotely.

Which components ship inside the chassis and what must I source separately?

The unit includes two Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors, 64 GB DDR4 in four 16 GB modules, the H730 1 GB controller, twelve 8 TB 3.5" SATA drives, X520/I350 quad-port NIC, two 750 W PSUs, bezel and rails; add OS licences, SFP+ transceivers and any extra memory up to 24 slots.

Which memory configuration should I choose if I need room to reach the 1.5 TB maximum later?

The current 64 GB uses only four of the 24 DDR4 slots; populate remaining slots with registered ECC DDR4 2400 MHz modules in matched sets to scale toward the 1.5 TB limit.
