PowerEdge R730XD 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server built for dense storage workloads. It fits data centres that need hot-plug drive access and redundant power in a compact chassis. This configuration ships with a single six-core Intel Xeon E5-2609v3 processor running at 1.9GHz.

24 DDR4 DIMM slots with 48GB installed

The system board provides 24 DIMM slots, twelve per processor socket, populated here with 48GB of DDR4 memory. Maximum supported capacity reaches 1536GB when both CPU sockets are filled and all slots are occupied with compatible modules up to 128GB each.

H730 RAID controller plus three 2TB SAS drives

A Perc H730 controller with 1GB cache manages RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across the three included 2TB 7.2K SAS drives. Nine additional 3.5-inch hot-plug bays remain open for expansion, and dual 750W redundant power supplies are fitted. No operating system is included.

Questions about this item

What does the single 1.9 GHz six-core Xeon 2609 processor deliver for typical workloads?

The installed E5-2609v3 runs at 1.9 GHz with six cores, providing a baseline of compute threads for light virtualization, file serving or test environments; adding a second matching processor would double the core count.

How does the 12 Gbps H730 controller limit the three installed 6 Gbps SAS drives?

The Perc H730 supports 12 Gbps SAS, but the three 2 TB drives operate at 6 Gbps, so the array runs at the drives' native speed while the controller retains headroom for faster drives later.

How deep is the 2U chassis and will it slide into a standard rack?

The unit measures 26.8 inches long, 17.44 inches wide and 3.4 inches high, fitting a standard 2U rack space with sliding rails for front and rear support.
