Dual 18-core Xeon compute density

The R730xd fits two E5-2699 v3 processors at 2.3 GHz with 18 cores each into a 2U rack chassis. One hundred twenty-eight gigabytes of DDR4 ECC memory across 24 slots support virtualisation hosts, database nodes or HPC worker roles. Twenty-four front bays accept the supplied 600 GB 10K SAS drives for high-IOPS local storage.

Sustained throughput with hardware RAID

The PERC H730 controller presents RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through, backed by a 1 GB cache battery that protects writes during power loss. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies share load and allow hot-swap replacement without downtime. Quad-port networking combines two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links for storage and migration traffic.

Serviceable 2U form factor

ReadyRails mount the server in standard four-post racks without tools and the front bezel snaps on for a clean face. iDRAC 8 Enterprise gives dedicated remote console, power control and hardware inventory over a separate management port. All drives, power supplies and fans are hot-swappable from the front or rear so failed components can be replaced while workloads continue.

Questions about this item

How much power do the two 750 Watt platinum supplies draw when this R730xd runs continuously under full load?

The server includes two redundant 750 Watt platinum-efficiency power supplies; actual draw under full load depends on the workload and will not exceed the rated 750 W per supply.

Which drive trays or caddies must I already have to populate the 24 front 2.5-inch SAS bays?

The 24-bay chassis accepts standard Dell 2.5-inch hot-swap SAS/SATA drive carriers; the 24 installed 600 GB 10 K SAS drives ship already mounted in those carriers.

Will the PERC H730 controller recognise and RAID the older 6 Gb/s SAS drives I still have from a previous generation?

The H730 is a 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller that supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through; it is backward-compatible with 6 Gb/s and 3 Gb/s SAS drives.
