Dual-socket Xeon E5-2660 v3 server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors. Each CPU delivers 10 cores at 2.6 GHz with a 3.3 GHz turbo frequency. The system ships with 64 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across four 16 GB modules and includes a PERC H730 1 GB RAID controller.

Suited for dense storage workloads.

This configuration targets environments that need high-capacity SAS storage in a compact chassis. The 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch bays hold 600 GB 10K SAS drives, providing a large spindle count for databases, virtual desktop infrastructure or data-warehouse nodes. Buyers who require all-flash arrays or GPU-accelerated workloads should evaluate other platforms because the chassis and controller are designed around mechanical SAS media.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS chassis with H730 RAID

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch SAS backplane paired with the PERC H730 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. This combination determines whether the server can meet a given storage density and redundancy requirement. Network connectivity is supplied by an Intel X520/I350 daughter card with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports, while remote management uses iDRAC 8 Enterprise.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 24 600GB SAS drives into the 2.5-inch bays, and which step is commonly missed?

Slide each drive into a bay until the latch clicks, then configure the PERC H730 RAID array in the BIOS utility before the OS sees the volumes.

Which components will need replacement first during long-term operation?

The 24 10K SAS hard drives and the two 750 Watt power supplies are the primary field-replaceable units; the PERC H730 battery may also require replacement after several years.

What thermal or power limit appears first when both Xeon E5-2660 v3 CPUs run at full load continuously?

The dual 750 Watt Platinum power supplies set the sustained power ceiling; the system will throttle if combined draw approaches their rated output.
