Dual Xeon E5-2680 v4 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rackmount server system equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors running at 2.4 GHz with 14 cores each. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 memory installed across four 16 GB modules and includes a PERC H730 storage controller with 1 GB cache. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies provide redundancy.

Suits dense storage workloads, not GPU compute

This configuration targets midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure, databases or high-performance computing data nodes. The 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch SAS/SATA trays support high-capacity spindle or solid-state arrays. Buyers who require GPU acceleration or more than two processor sockets should evaluate other chassis designs.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS/SATA backplane decides fit

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch drive backplane paired with the H730 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through. Network connectivity comes from a quad-port daughter card delivering two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links. Remote management is handled by iDRAC 8 Enterprise. Rails and bezel are included.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the PERC H730 controller is operating correctly after installation?

During boot, open the controller BIOS (Ctrl+R) and confirm both E5-2680 v4 CPUs are detected, all 24 drive bays appear, the 1 GB cache battery shows healthy, and your desired RAID level (0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60) builds without errors.

What components are included and which must be purchased separately?

The server ships with dual Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors, 64 GB DDR4 (4×16 GB), PERC H730 1 GB controller, X520/I350 quad-port NIC, iDRAC8 Enterprise, two 750 W PSUs, rails, bezel and 24 empty 2.5″ trays; hard drives or SSDs are not included.

Which memory configuration should I choose for this 24-slot system?

The unit already has 64 GB in four 16 GB DDR4-2400 registered ECC modules, leaving 20 free slots; add identical 16 GB DDR4-2400 RDIMMs to scale toward the 1.5 TB maximum in matched sets per CPU.
