Dell PowerEdge R730XD 2U rack server

This 2U rack server ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processor at 1.9 GHz and 64 GB of DDR4 memory. It includes a Dell PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache and three 900 GB 10K SAS drives in 2.5-inch hot-plug bays. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and a DVD-ROM drive complete the base configuration.

Suits workloads that need dense 2.5-inch storage

The chassis supports up to 24 hot-plug SAS or SATA drives and RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Buyers who require more than 64 GB of installed memory or a second processor should look elsewhere. The single-CPU configuration and fixed 64 GB limit also rule out deployments that demand higher core counts or larger memory footprints from day one.

Single E5-2609 v3 CPU caps memory at 64 GB

The processor installed supports a maximum of 64 GB across the 24 DIMM slots, so no further memory expansion is possible without a CPU upgrade. This specification determines whether the server can meet the capacity needs of the intended application.

Questions about this item

Will the server power on with only one 750W supply installed?

Yes, the chassis holds two 750W redundant hot-swap units so it will run on a single supply while the other is removed.

Can I keep using my existing 6Gbps SAS drives in the empty 2.5-inch bays?

The backplane accepts both SAS and SATA 2.5-inch drives, so 6Gbps SAS drives already in use will work in the remaining bays.

How do I confirm the PERC H730 sees all three 900GB drives after first boot?

Enter the controller BIOS during POST; the virtual-disk screen will list each 900GB 10K SAS drive and show the configured RAID level.
