Dell PowerEdge R730xd 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack-mounted server system built for midsize and large enterprises. It ships with dual Intel Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors, each running at 2.3 GHz with 18 cores, and includes 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots. The chassis supports up to 24 2.5-inch drive bays and ships with two 400 GB SATA SSDs.

Suits virtualisation and database nodes.

This server targets midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure or high-performance computing workloads. The dual 18-core Xeon configuration and 128 GB DDR4 capacity handle dense virtual machine hosting and in-memory databases well. Buyers needing GPU acceleration for deep learning or single-threaded burst performance should evaluate alternative platforms.

PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache drives RAID

The installed Dell PERC H730 storage controller provides 1 GB of battery-backed cache and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. It manages both SAS and SATA devices across the 24-bay backplane, letting administrators tune redundancy and performance for the two included 400 GB SSDs and any additional drives.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the H730 controller reports both 400GB SSDs as healthy after first boot?

Open the PERC H730 BIOS utility during POST and verify both 400GB SATA SSDs appear as Online with no media errors.

Which rails and bezel are included, and do I need extra cables for the 2.5" bays?

Ready Rails and front bezel ship in the box; the 24-bay backplane is pre-cabled to the H730 so no extra SAS/SATA cables are required.

Should I choose the 128GB (8x 16GB) kit or add more modules to reach 1.5TB?

Keep the 8x 16GB DDR4 2133MHz Registered ECC kit if current workloads fit in 128GB; populate the remaining 16 slots later to scale toward 1.5TB.
