Purpose-built 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack-mount server designed for dense storage workloads. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processor running at 1.9 GHz and 64 GB of DDR4 memory. The system targets organisations needing high drive-count capacity in a standard rack footprint.

24-bay SAS storage with H730 RAID

The chassis provides 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch bays supporting SAS or SATA drives. Three 300 GB 15K SAS drives are installed, leaving ample bays for expansion up to a 52 TB raw maximum. The integrated Perc H730 controller with 1 GB cache manages RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across all attached drives.

PCIe 3.0 expansion and 1 GbE networking

Up to six PCIe 3.0 slots are available alongside a dedicated RAID card slot for additional controllers or network adapters. The included daughter card supplies four 1 GbE ports, with optional 10 GbE NDC upgrades.

Questions about this item

Will the existing 2.5" SAS drives and H730 controller work if I add a second E5-2609 v3 processor later?

Yes, the 24-bay SAS backplane and H730 controller are already installed; adding a second processor simply unlocks the second set of 12 DIMM slots and additional PCIe lanes.

How can I confirm the H730 RAID controller is healthy after first boot?

Open the iDRAC8 web interface, navigate to Storage > Controller, and verify the H730 shows Optimal status with 1 GB cache and 12 Gbps link speed.

Which items ship inside the chassis and which must be ordered separately?

The server includes one E5-2609 v3 CPU, 64 GB DDR4 across 24 slots, three 300 GB 15K SAS drives in hot-plug trays, H730 RAID card, two 750 W redundant PSUs, DVD drive, and 4-port 1 GbE daughter card; rails, OS, and extra drives are not included.
