Dual Xeon E5-2699 v3 18-core server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors. Each CPU runs at 2.3 GHz with a 3.6 GHz turbo frequency and provides 18 cores. The system targets midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure, databases or high-performance computing data nodes.

256GB DDR4 and 24 SAS drives

Memory is configured as eight 32 GB DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC modules for a total of 256 GB, with headroom to expand up to 1.5 TB across 24 slots. Storage uses a Dell PERC H730 1 GB controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through, driving 24 enterprise 1.2 TB 10K SAS hard drives in 2.5 inch bays.

12 Gb/s SAS and 10 GbE networking

The PERC H730 controller operates at 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA speeds, setting the practical throughput ceiling for the internal drive array. External connectivity is handled by an Intel X520/I350 daughter card delivering two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports, while iDRAC 8 Enterprise provides dedicated remote management. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies supply redundant hot-swap power.

Questions about this item

Will the 24 installed 1.2TB SAS drives work with the PERC H730 controller in my existing R730xd?

The server includes a Dell PERC H730 1GB controller that supports SAS and SATA drives with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through, so the 24 factory-installed 1.2TB 10K SAS drives are already configured for it.

How can I confirm the dual Xeon E5-2699 v3 CPUs and 256GB DDR4 memory are detected after power-on?

During POST the BIOS will report two 18-core processors at 2.3GHz with 3.6GHz turbo and 256GB of registered ECC DDR4 at 2133MHz; iDRAC 8 Enterprise also shows the same inventory remotely.

Which items ship in the box and what must I source separately?

The unit ships with 24x 1.2TB SAS drives, two 750W platinum power supplies, ready rails, front bezel, the X520/I350 quad-port network card and iDRAC 8 Enterprise; no additional components are included.
