Dell PowerEdge R730xd 2U server

This Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for midsize and large enterprise workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores each. The system includes 512 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across 16 modules. A PERC H730 storage controller with 1 GB cache manages the 24-bay 2.5-inch drive chassis.

Suited for virtualisation.

The 24 drive bays and dual 10 GbE SFP+ ports make this server a good fit for virtual desktop infrastructure, data warehousing and high-performance computing data nodes. iDRAC8 Enterprise provides full remote management. Buyers who need more than 1.5 TB of memory or more than two processors should look at a larger platform.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.5" drive bays accept my existing 2.5" SATA SSDs alongside the installed 400GB SSDs?

Yes, the 24-bay 2.5" chassis supports SATA SSDs and the H730 controller handles SATA and SAS drives together.

How can I confirm the H730 controller sees both 400GB SSDs and the 512GB DDR4 memory after first boot?

Open the H730 BIOS during POST to verify the two SSDs appear as logical drives, then check the iDRAC8 inventory for 512GB DDR4 across 16 DIMM slots.

Does the package include SFP+ modules for the X520 10Gb ports and do I need extra rail brackets?

The box contains the server, bezel and ReadyRails; SFP+ transceivers for the 10Gb SFP+ ports are not included and must be purchased separately.
