Enterprise 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for data-intensive workloads such as virtualisation, databases and high-performance computing nodes. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors, each delivering 18 cores at 2.3 GHz with a 3.6 GHz turbo frequency.

Installation notes

The chassis includes ready rails and a front bezel for standard rack mounting. Twelve 3.5-inch drive bays and 24 DDR4 memory slots are populated, so hardware assembly is largely complete. Buyers should verify rack depth and power-phase availability before installation.

Pre-order checks

Confirm your rack can accommodate a 2U form factor and that the power distribution units can supply two 750 W platinum-efficiency supplies. The PERC H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60; ensure your storage topology matches these levels. Network uplinks use two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports — check switch compatibility.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the PERC H730 controller and all twelve 4 TB drives are healthy after installation?

Open the iDRAC8 Enterprise web interface, navigate to the Storage section, and confirm the H730 shows Optimal status with all twelve 4 TB SATA drives reporting Ready and no foreign configurations present.

Which rails, bezel and network daughter card ship with the server, and what must I source separately?

Ready Rails and the front bezel are included; the Intel X520/I350 quad-port card providing two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports is also installed. Only SFP+ transceivers or DAC cables for the 10 Gb links need to be purchased separately.

Should I choose the 768 GB DDR4 configuration or add more memory up to the 1.5 TB maximum?

The system arrives with 24 × 32 GB DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC modules filling every slot. To exceed 768 GB you must replace existing modules with higher-capacity DDR4 RDIMMs; select the larger capacity only if your workload requires more than 768 GB.
