Dell PowerEdge R730xd 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for midsize and large enterprises. It runs two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores each. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory and twelve 3.5-inch 6 TB SATA hard drives. A PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache manages storage, while dual 750 W platinum power supplies provide redundancy.

Suited for dense storage workloads.

This server suits buyers who need high-capacity internal storage in a 2U form factor, such as data warehouses, virtual desktop infrastructure or database nodes. The twelve-bay chassis and quad-port 1 GbE plus 10 Gb SFP+ networking support heavy I/O. Buyers who want all-flash arrays, GPU acceleration or a smaller 1U footprint should look at other platforms.

128 GB DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots

The installed 128 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory fills eight of the 24 available slots. This leaves room to expand toward the 1.5 TB maximum if workloads demand more capacity. The memory type is fixed to DDR4; other generations are not compatible with this platform.

Questions about this item

Does the server include the rails and bezel needed to mount it in a standard rack?

Yes, ready rails and a front bezel are included with the 2U chassis.

Can the PERC H730 controller manage the twelve installed 6 TB SATA drives together with older SAS drives I might add later?

The H730 supports both SAS and SATA, so existing SAS drives can be added to the same backplane and managed in the same RAID arrays.

How can I confirm the dual Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors and 128 GB of DDR4 memory are recognised after power-on?

Check the POST screen or iDRAC8 Enterprise inventory; both will show two 16-core CPUs at 2.1 GHz and eight 16 GB DDR4 modules totalling 128 GB.
