  • Dual 22-core Xeon CPUs at 2.2 GHz with 3.6 GHz turbo
  • 768 GB DDR4 ECC memory across 24 slots for large datasets
  • 24-bay 2.5" chassis filled with 600 GB 10K SAS drives
  • PERC H730 RAID controller supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60
  • Dual 750 W platinum power supplies with hot-swap redundancy

Dual 22-core Xeon server for dense workloads

The PowerEdge R730xd fits two Intel Xeon E5-2699 v4 processors at 2.2 GHz with 3.6 GHz turbo, delivering 44 total cores for virtualisation, databases or high-performance computing nodes. It targets midsize and large enterprises that need maximum core density in a 2U rack footprint.

24-bay SAS array with hardware RAID and 10 Gb

Twenty-four 600 GB 10K SAS drives connect to a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through. A quad-port X520/I350 daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links, while iDRAC8 Enterprise provides dedicated remote management.

Tool-less rails and hot-swap components simplify

Ready Rails mount without tools in standard 4-post racks, and the front bezel snaps on for cable management. All 24 drive bays, both 750 W platinum power supplies and cooling fans are hot-swappable, so failed parts can be replaced without downtime. Verify rack depth and power distribution before ordering.

Questions about this item

How often do the 24 installed 600GB SAS drives or the PERC H730 controller battery need replacement?

The 24 enterprise 600GB 10K SAS drives are rated for continuous operation; the H730 controller includes a battery-backed cache module that typically lasts several years before requiring replacement.

What limits sustained throughput first — the 12Gb/s SAS backplane, the H730 controller, or the 2x 10Gb SFP+ network ports?

The dual 10Gb SFP+ ports on the X520/I350 daughter card will saturate before the 12Gb/s SAS backplane or H730 controller under heavy sequential workloads.

How much heat and power do the dual Xeon E5-2699 v4 CPUs and 768GB DDR4 produce when the server runs 24/7?

Two 22-core Xeon E5-2699 v4 processors at 2.2GHz with 3.6GHz turbo, plus 768GB DDR4, draw significant power; the redundant 750W platinum PSUs handle the load with headroom.
