PowerEdge R730xd 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for dense storage workloads. Two Xeon E5-2683 v3 processors provide 28 cores at 2.0 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo. 512 GB of DDR4 ECC memory fills 16 of 24 slots. The PERC H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across 24 2.5-inch bays.

Suits storage-heavy virtualisation

This server fits teams that need high capacity in a compact rack footprint. The 24-bay chassis and dual 10 GbE SFP+ ports handle large datasets and fast replication. Buyers who need more than two processors or more than 1.5 TB of memory should look at a larger platform. Workloads that demand GPU acceleration or single-thread speeds above 3.0 GHz are not a match.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS/SATA backplane

The defining specification is the 24-drive front bay layout combined with the H730 12 Gb/s controller. It dictates how many disks you can install and which RAID levels are available. Confirm that your caddies, cables and drive carriers match the 2.5-inch SAS interface before ordering.

Questions about this item

What rack space and power infrastructure must I have available before installing this 2U server?

The chassis occupies 2U of rack height and requires two hot-swap 750 Watt power supplies; ensure your rack has the matching rails and redundant PDU capacity.

Can I keep using my existing SAS drives with the PERC H730 controller?

Yes, the H730 supports 12Gb/s SAS and SATA drives and offers RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, so your current SAS disks will work directly.

How do I confirm the iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management is active after first boot?

Connect the dedicated management port, power on the server, and watch for the iDRAC IP address on the POST screen or LCD; then log in via browser to verify Enterprise features.
