Product identity

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2650v3 ten-core processor running at 2.3 GHz. It ships with 8 GB of DDR4 memory, three 900 GB 10K SAS drives and a PERC H730 RAID controller supporting RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch drive bays complete the configuration.

Who this suits

This server fits environments that need dense 2.5-inch SAS storage in a 2U form factor with hardware RAID and redundant power. It supports up to two processors and 24 DIMM slots for DDR4 expansion. Buyers who need more than two sockets, a 1U chassis or a different drive bay count should evaluate other form factors.

Deciding specification

The chassis provides 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch bays for SAS or SATA drives with a maximum raw capacity of 52 TB. That bay count and capacity limit determine whether the system can hold the required dataset.

Questions about this item

Does the H730 controller run at 12 Gbps on the 6 Gbps SAS drives installed?

The H730 controller supports 12 Gbps SAS, but the three factory drives are 6 Gbps units, so the array will operate at 6 Gbps.

What rail kit and cabinet depth are required for the 26.8 inch chassis?

The server needs a 2U rack opening and a cabinet at least 26.8 inches deep; Dell sliding rails for the R730XD are the standard mounting hardware.

How is the single E5-2650v3 seated, and which DIMM slots must be filled first?

Install the processor in socket CPU1, then populate the twelve slots belonging to that processor starting with the slots labelled A1, B1, C1, D1, E1, F1.
