24-bay 2U rack server

The PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server with 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch drive bays. It ships with dual Intel Xeon E5-2699 v4 processors, each running 22 cores at 2.2 GHz with a 3.6 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules and a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache.

Suited for dense storage workloads

This configuration targets environments that need high local capacity and throughput, such as data warehousing, virtual desktop infrastructure or database nodes. The 24 installed 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives deliver a large spindle count behind a hardware RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Organisations requiring solid-state media or GPU compute density should evaluate other platforms.

1.5 TB maximum memory ceiling

The chassis provides 24 DIMM slots and supports up to 1.5 TB of DDR4 memory when fully populated with supported modules. Buyers planning larger in-memory datasets must verify that the intended module densities are qualified for this platform before purchase.

Questions about this item

Will the 12Gb/s SAS backplane and H730 controller still recognise my existing 6Gb/s SAS drives?

The H730 controller supports both 12Gb/s and 6Gb/s SAS and SATA drives, so older 6Gb/s disks will be detected and can be used in RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60.

How can I confirm the dual Xeon E5-2699 v4 CPUs and 256GB DDR4 are running at their rated 2.2GHz and 2400MHz after installation?

Open the iDRAC 8 Enterprise interface or the BIOS System Setup; both display each processor’s current clock speed and the memory operating frequency for every populated DIMM slot.

Which items ship with the server and which must be sourced separately?

The unit includes two Xeon E5-2699 v4 processors, eight 32GB DDR4 RDIMMs, twenty-four 1.2TB 10K SAS drives, H730 controller with battery, X520/I350 quad-port network card, iDRAC 8 Enterprise, two 750W platinum PSUs, ready rails and front bezel; no additional components are required for basic operation.
