2U Rack Server with 12 Drive Bays

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2630v3 eight-core processor running at 2.4 GHz. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots and three 2 TB 7.2K SAS drives managed by a PERC H730 RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and iDRAC8 remote management come standard.

Suited for dense storage workloads

This configuration suits environments that need up to twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug SAS or SATA drives in a compact chassis, with hardware RAID and redundant power already installed. Buyers who require a second processor, more than 64 GB of memory, or additional PCIe 3.0 expansion beyond six slots should consider other options. The included DVD-ROM and four 1 GbE ports cover basic installation and management needs.

Single E5-2630v3 processor installed

The server arrives with one eight-core Xeon E5-2630v3 CPU; the socket for a second processor is empty but supported. Memory runs at up to 2400 MT/s depending on the installed processor, and the H730 controller provides 1 GB cache with 12 Gbps SAS connectivity. Maximum raw capacity reaches 52 TB across the twelve drive bays.

Questions about this item

What motherboard chipset does the R730XD use to support the E5-2630v3 processor?

The server uses the Intel C610 chipset, which is required for the installed Xeon E5-2630v3 CPU to operate.

Can the existing H730 RAID controller manage additional SATA drives if I populate the remaining bays?

Yes, the H730 controller supports both SAS and SATA drives across all 12 hot-plug 3.5-inch bays.

How do I confirm the iDRAC8 remote management is active after powering on the server?

During POST, watch for the iDRAC8 network configuration message showing its IP address, then access that address in a browser to reach the Lifecycle Controller login.
