2U 24-bay server with dual 14-core Xeons

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server populated with two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors running at 2.4 GHz with a 3.3 GHz turbo. Fourteen cores per socket deliver 28 threads for parallel workloads. The chassis holds 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch drive bays and includes redundant hot-swap 750 W power supplies.

Suits dense storage and virtualisation.

This configuration fits organisations running databases, virtual desktop infrastructure, or data-warehouse nodes that benefit from local flash capacity. The board provides 24 DDR4 slots populated with 768 GB of registered ECC memory and a maximum of 1.5 TB. Buyers who need more than two processor sockets, GPU compute, or memory beyond 1.5 TB should evaluate other platforms.

PERC H730 controller with 24 SATA SSDs

The integrated Dell PERC H730 1 GB controller manages the 24 installed 400 GB SATA SSDs across RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes. Network connectivity uses an Intel X520/I350 daughter card providing two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports. Remote management is handled by iDRAC 8 Enterprise.

Questions about this item

Do I need to supply my own SFP+ modules for the 10GbE ports on the Intel X520/I350 card?

Yes, the quad-port daughter card provides two 10Gb SFP+ ports that require compatible SFP+ transceivers or direct-attach cables, which are not included with the server.

Will my existing SATA 6Gb/s SSDs work with the PERC H730 controller in this R730xd?

The PERC H730 supports both SAS and SATA drives, so any 2.5" SATA 6Gb/s SSD can be used in the 24 drive bays alongside the installed 400GB units.

How can I verify that both Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors and all 768GB of DDR4 memory are recognised after power-on?

During POST the system will display two 14-core CPUs at 2.40GHz and 768GB total memory; iDRAC8 Enterprise also reports the full inventory in its System Overview page.
