Dell PowerEdge R730XD 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server built for dense storage workloads. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 ten-core processor running at 2.3GHz and 8GB of DDR4 memory. Three 900GB 10K SAS drives and a PERC H330 RAID controller provide the storage foundation. Dual 750W redundant power supplies support continuous operation.

Suited for storage-heavy roles, not maximum compute

This configuration fits organisations that need up to twenty-four 2.5-inch hot-plug drive bays behind a 12Gbps RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60. The single installed processor leaves one socket open for a future upgrade to two CPUs. Buyers who require the full 1536GB memory ceiling or a second processor from day one should look elsewhere.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS/SATA chassis decides fit

The defining specification is the twenty-four-bay 2.5-inch hot-plug chassis that accepts SAS or SATA drives. This density determines whether the server matches the planned storage capacity and drive-type strategy. If the deployment calls for a different bay count, form factor or drive interface, this model will not suit.

Questions about this item

What rack depth and clearance does the 2U R730XD chassis need?

The server is 26.8 inches long and 3.4 inches high, so a standard 2U rack space with at least that usable depth will accommodate it.

Which drive trays are required to populate the 24-bay front panel?

The 2.5-inch hot-plug bays accept Dell 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drive trays; the three included 900GB SAS drives ship with their own trays.

When should the redundant 750W power supplies be replaced?

Replace a supply when its status LED shows a fault or iDRAC8 reports a power-supply degradation alert.
