DELL PowerEdge R730xd 2U rack server 2x Xeon E5-2699 v4 2.2GHz 22-core 768GB DDR4 24x 400GB SSD

Purpose-built density for virtualization

This 2U rack server combines dual 22-core Xeon processors at 2.2 GHz with 768 GB of DDR4 memory across 24 slots, leaving headroom to reach the 1.5 TB maximum. Twenty-four 400 GB SATA SSDs sit behind a PERC H730 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. It targets midsize and large enterprises running databases, VDI, data warehouses or HPC data nodes.

Verify rack depth, power feeds and network uplinks

Confirm the cabinet can accommodate a 2U chassis with sliding rails and that two 750 W platinum supplies match your PDU connectors and circuit capacity. The onboard X520/I350 daughter card delivers two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports, so plan for compatible transceivers and switch ports. Memory uses registered ECC DDR4 modules; any expansion must match that specification.

Hot-swap bays and redundant cooling simplify daily

All 24 2.5-inch drive bays and both power supplies are hot-swappable, allowing drive or PSU replacement without downtime. The front bezel and included rails support tool-less rack mounting and quick physical access. iDRAC 8 Enterprise provides remote console, power control and hardware monitoring over a dedicated management network.
