Dual Xeon E5-2680 v4 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors, each running at 2.4 GHz with 14 cores and a 3.3 GHz turbo frequency. It includes 128 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across 8 modules and a PERC H730 storage controller with 1 GB cache. The chassis provides 24 bays for 2.5-inch SATA drives and is populated with two 400 GB SATA SSDs.

Virtualisation and database hosts

This server suits organisations running virtualised workloads, databases or high-performance computing tasks that benefit from 28 total cores and large memory capacity. The quad-port network daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections for flexible fabric integration. Buyers who need more than 1.5 TB of memory or more than two processors should evaluate alternative platforms.

24-bay 2.5-inch SATA chassis

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch SATA backplane paired with the PERC H730 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. This combination determines how many drives can be installed and which RAID levels are available. iDRAC 8 Enterprise and dual 750 W platinum power supplies complete the management and power foundation.

Questions about this item

What storage interface does the PERC H730 controller use, and what throughput does it cap at?

The PERC H730 is a 12Gb/s SAS/SATA controller, so attached drives are limited to the SATA 6Gb/s link speed of the installed SSDs.

What physical mounting hardware does the R730xd include for a standard rack?

The server ships with Dell Ready Rails and a front bezel for 2U installation in a 4-post rack.

How is the PERC H730 battery installed, and what step is often missed?

The battery module plugs into the H730 mini card inside the chassis; the cable must be seated fully or the controller will report a missing battery.
