Dense 2U compute node

The PowerEdge R730xd packs two 18-core Xeon processors running at 2.3 GHz into a 2U rack chassis with 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch drive bays. Sixty-four gigabytes of DDR4 ECC memory and a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache support RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 8 Enterprise remote management come standard.

Suited to storage-heavy workloads

This server targets databases, virtual desktop infrastructure and data-warehouse nodes that benefit from high core counts and abundant drive slots. The quad-port 1 GbE and 10 Gb SFP+ daughter card handles mixed traffic without extra cards. Buyers who need more than two sockets or who rely on GPU acceleration should evaluate alternative platforms.

Twenty-four drive bays decide fit

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch front panel that lets you populate up to 24 SATA or SAS devices behind a single RAID controller. If the workload requires fewer drives or a smaller chassis, a different form factor will save rack space and power.

Questions about this item

What rack space must I reserve for the 2U PowerEdge R730xd?

The server occupies a standard 2U rack height; ensure your cabinet has at least 2U of clearance and supports the included ready rails for installation.

Can the PERC H730 controller manage my existing SATA drives?

Yes, the Dell PERC H730 1GB controller supports both SAS and SATA drives, so older SATA HDDs or SSDs can be added to the 24-bay chassis alongside the installed 400GB SSDs.

How do I confirm the two Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors are recognised after power-on?

During POST the system will display two 18-core CPUs at 2.30 GHz, and iDRAC 8 Enterprise will show 64GB of DDR4 memory and both processors in the hardware inventory.
