Dense 2U Server with Dual 18-Core Xeons

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for midsize and large enterprises. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors running at 2.3 GHz with 18 cores each and 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots.

Suited for Storage-Heavy Workloads.

This configuration suits organisations that need dense, high-speed SATA SSD storage in a 2U form factor, with twenty-four 400 GB enterprise drives pre-installed. The PERC H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or additional PCIe add-in cards should look elsewhere, as the 2U chassis limits expansion slots.

24-Bay 2.5-Inch Drive Chassis Decides Fit

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch drive chassis paired with the H730 controller. It determines whether your workload can use the installed SATA SSDs and RAID options within a 2U rack footprint.

Questions about this item

Do I need to supply my own SFP+ transceivers for the 10Gb ports on the Intel X520/I350 daughter card?

The X520/I350 card provides two 10Gb SFP+ ports; compatible SFP+ transceivers and cables are not included and must be purchased separately.

Can the PERC H730 controller manage the 24 installed 400GB SATA SSDs together with any additional SAS drives I might add later?

Yes, the H730 supports mixed SAS and SATA drives across its 12Gb/s backplane, so you can add SAS drives to the existing 24 SATA SSDs.

How can I confirm the iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management is active after the server is racked and powered on?

Connect the dedicated iDRAC network port, browse to its IP address, and the iDRAC8 Enterprise login page will appear, confirming the controller is operational.
