PowerEdge R730XD 2U rack server

This 2U rack server delivers dense storage capacity in a compact form factor. It is designed for organisations that need up to twelve hot-plug drive bays and integrated RAID management in a single chassis.

H730 RAID controller with redundant power

The Dell Perc H730 controller supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 and provides 1GB cache with 12Gbps throughput for SAS and SATA drives. Dual 750W redundant power supplies maintain operation if one unit fails, while the DVD-ROM drive handles legacy media tasks.

Single CPU configuration with expansion headroom

The system ships with one E5-2609v3 six-core processor installed and a second socket available for future upgrades. Twenty-four DDR4 DIMM slots support up to 1536GB total memory, and six PCIe 3.0 slots plus a dedicated RAID slot allow additional I/O cards. Remote management is provided by iDRAC8 Express with optional Enterprise upgrades.

Questions about this item

How often do the two 750W redundant power supplies need replacement?

The server ships with two 750W hot-swap power supplies; each unit can be replaced independently without shutting down the system.

What limits sustained compute throughput first?

The single E5-2609v3 six-core processor running at 1.9GHz reaches full utilisation before memory or I/O become bottlenecks.

How loud and hot does the 2U chassis get during continuous operation?

Redundant fans and the 2U airflow design keep internal temperatures stable; acoustic output is typical for a rack-mount server running 24/7.
