PowerEdge R730xd 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack-mount server built for dense storage and compute workloads. It ships with dual Intel Xeon E5-2683 v3 processors, each running 14 cores at 2.0 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo capability. The system includes 64 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across four 16 GB modules. A PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache manages the internal drive array.

24-bay SAS storage for database

This server suits organisations that need high-capacity 10 K SAS storage in a compact 2U form factor, such as data-warehouse nodes, VDI hosts or HPC data tiers. The 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch bays come populated with 600 GB enterprise drives, and the quad-port X520/I350 daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections. Buyers who require all-flash performance, GPU compute acceleration or larger memory footprints should evaluate alternative platforms.

PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache

The installed PERC H730 mini controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode, backed by a battery-protected 1 GB cache. It drives the 24 SAS drives at 12 Gb/s and also handles SATA media if the storage mix changes later. Confirm that your workload can operate within the 64 GB memory ceiling and the dual-socket LGA 2011-3 platform before deployment.

Questions about this item

What rack height and rail kit does the R730xd 2U server require?

The server occupies 2U of rack space and ships with Ready Rails for standard square-hole or threaded-hole racks.

How are the 24 SAS drives installed and what step is often missed?

Drives slide into the front 2.5-inch hot-swap bays; the common miss is not seating each carrier until the latch clicks, which leaves the SAS connector unengaged.

Which memory modules and controller battery will need replacement over time?

The system uses 24 DDR4 RDIMM slots populated with 16 GB modules; the PERC H730 controller includes a battery-backed cache that typically requires replacement after several years.
