Dell PowerEdge R730xd 2U server

This Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack-mount server system built for midsize and large enterprise workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors, each running at 2.1GHz with 16 cores, and 768GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots. The chassis includes 24 hot-swap 2.5-inch drive bays populated with 1.2TB 10K SAS hard drives.

Suits virtualisation and database nodes.

The configuration suits virtual desktop infrastructure, data warehousing, database clusters and high-performance computing data nodes that benefit from high core counts and large memory capacity. The SAS backplane and PERC H730 controller provide hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with battery-backed cache. Buyers who need all-flash latency or a different drive protocol should evaluate other platforms, as the installed backplane and controller are SAS/SATA only.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS backplane with PERC H730

The single specification that decides fit is the 24-bay 2.5-inch SAS backplane paired with the Dell PERC H730 1GB controller. It accepts SAS and SATA drives and delivers 12Gb/s throughput to the 24 installed 1.2TB 10K drives, defining both the storage capacity ceiling and the I/O path for any workload placed on this server.

Questions about this item

Will the server boot with the two Xeon E5-2683 v4 CPUs already installed, or do I need to add a processor first?

Both 2.1 GHz 16-core Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors are installed and the system is ready to boot.

Can I keep my existing SAS drives and connect them to the PERC H730 controller in this unit?

The PERC H730 12Gb/s SAS/SATA controller supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 and pass-through for your existing SAS drives.

How do I verify the 768 GB of DDR4 memory is detected and running at 2400 MHz after power-on?

Check the iDRAC8 Enterprise inventory or the BIOS memory configuration screen; both will show 24×32 GB modules at 2400 MHz.
