Dell PowerEdge R730XD 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server built for high-density storage. It uses a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 processor with 10 cores at 2.3 GHz and includes 64 GB of DDR4 memory. Three 600 GB 15K SAS drives and a PERC H330 RAID controller are installed.

Suits storage workloads; not for heavy compute

This server suits buyers who need 12 hot-plug 3.5-inch drive bays in a compact 2U form factor. The H330 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 for local redundancy. Organisations requiring more than one processor or memory beyond 64 GB should look at a different configuration.

Single E5-2650 v3 processor limits expansion

The system ships with one CPU installed and a maximum of two supported. Memory speed runs up to 2400 MT/s depending on the processor capability. The single-socket layout caps memory capacity at 64 GB and leaves the second socket empty for future upgrade.

Questions about this item

How many 3.5-inch drive bays does the R730XD provide for the installed SAS drives?

The chassis holds up to 12 hot-plug 3.5-inch bays; three ship populated with 600 GB 15 K SAS drives and the remaining bays are open for expansion.

What is the correct order for seating the DIMMs across the 24 slots when adding memory to the single E5-2650 v3 processor?

Populate the 12 slots belonging to processor 1 first, following the channel sequence shown on the air-shroud label, before adding any modules to the second processor's slots.

Which component should be checked first when a drive fails and the H330 controller reports a degraded RAID 5 array?

Replace the failed 3.5-inch SAS drive, let the H330 rebuild the array, then verify the redundant 750 W power supplies are both showing green status.
