  • Dual Xeon 8-core CPUs deliver 32 threads for virtualised workloads
  • 32 GB DDR4 memory installed across 24 DIMM slots
  • Three 300 GB 15K SAS drives provide fast hot-plug storage

  • Dual 750 W redundant power supplies maintain uptime during failures

Dual Xeon 2U density

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD fits two E5-2630 v3 processors and 32 GB of DDR4 into a 2U rack chassis. It targets teams that need high drive-count storage and compute in a single shelf without stepping up to a larger form factor. The 24-bay front panel supports SAS or SATA drives for local capacity.

Sustained multi-thread throughput

Dual eight-core CPUs at 2.4 GHz deliver 32 threads for parallel workloads such as virtualisation hosts or database nodes. Redundant 750 W supplies keep the system running during a power-module failure. The H330 controller manages RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 across the installed 300 GB 15 K SAS drives.

Rail kit and cabling readiness

The 2U height matches standard rack rails, but the deep 26.8 inch chassis requires adequate cabinet depth and cable management arms. Verify that the iDRAC8 Express licence covers the remote-management features you need before deployment. Memory upgrades use the 24 DDR4 slots, though the factory configuration already reaches the 32 GB installed limit.

Questions about this item

How much heat and power do the dual E5-2630v3 CPUs and 750 W redundant supplies generate in a 2U rack running 24/7?

Two 2.4 GHz eight-core Xeon processors and dual 750 W hot-swap power supplies share load in a 2U chassis; the redundant design keeps the system running if one supply fails.

Which rails, cables and operating system must I supply before the R730XD will boot?

The server includes 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch drive trays and a DVD-ROM, but ships without an OS; you provide rack rails, power cords and your chosen hypervisor or OS.

Can my existing 6 Gbps SAS drives and PCIe 3.0 cards work with the H330 controller and the six expansion slots?

The H330 12 Gbps RAID controller supports SAS and SATA drives at 6 Gbps, and six PCIe 3.0 slots plus a dedicated RAID slot accept legacy cards.
