12-bay 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack-mounted server system built for dense storage workloads. It arrives with a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 ten-core processor running at 2.3 GHz and 64 GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots. The chassis supports up to twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug SAS or SATA drives via a PERC H330 RAID controller offering RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and iDRAC8 remote management come standard.

Storage-focused IT teams

This platform suits organisations that need high capacity in a compact rack footprint for backup, archiving or software-defined storage clusters. The twelve-bay design and hardware RAID cover a wide range of redundancy profiles. Buyers who need a second CPU installed, pre-populated drives, an operating system licence or GPU-accelerated compute should evaluate other configurations. The Matrox G200 graphics and single 1 GbE daughter card limit desktop and high-throughput networking use cases.

Twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug bays

The defining specification is the twelve front-accessible 3.5-inch drive bays connected to the H330 controller. This bay count sets the raw storage ceiling at 52 TB using 3.5-inch media and determines whether the chassis matches the capacity target. Memory tops out at 64 GB with the current processor, and the six PCIe 3.0 slots plus a dedicated RAID slot handle additional I/O cards.

Questions about this item

Can I reuse my current DDR4 DIMMs in the 24 slots of this R730XD?

The server has 24 DDR4 DIMM slots supporting 4GB to 128GB modules at up to 2400MT/s; actual speed depends on the installed Xeon E5-2650 v3 processor capability.

How do I verify the PERC H330 controller is operating correctly after installation?

Use the iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller interface to check controller firmware, RAID configuration status and drive health; the Matrox G200 video output also allows direct BIOS and POST inspection.

Which items ship with the chassis and which must be sourced separately?

The unit includes the 2U chassis, single E5-2650 v3 CPU, 64GB DDR4, H330 RAID controller, two 750W redundant power supplies, DVD drive, 4-port 1GbE daughter card and a power cable; drive trays, hard drives, rail kit, bezel and OS are not included.
