2U rack server with 24 hot-plug bays

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server fitted with a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 ten-core processor running at 2.3 GHz and 16 GB of DDR4 memory. It includes three 1.2 TB 7.2 K SAS drives and a PERC H330 RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and iDRAC8 remote management are standard.

Suits dense storage workloads.

This configuration fits environments that need many drive bays in a compact chassis, such as backup targets, archive storage or software-defined storage nodes. The single installed processor limits compute throughput, and the 16 GB memory population uses only a small fraction of the 24 DIMM slots. Buyers who require two CPUs from day one or large memory footprints for virtualisation should consider other platforms.

24 x 2.5-inch hot-plug SAS/SATA bays

The chassis provides up to 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch bays for SAS or SATA drives, connected to the H330 12 Gbps RAID card. This bay count and controller combination determines how many drives you can add and which RAID levels are available without extra hardware.

Questions about this item

Do I need to add a second Xeon processor to fill both CPU sockets?

The server ships with one E5-2650 v3 installed and supports up to two processors; the second socket is empty and ready for an upgrade.

Can I keep my existing 6 Gbps SAS drives and use them in the 24-bay chassis?

Yes, the 2.5-inch hot-plug bays accept both 6 Gbps SAS and SATA drives, so current drives will work without change.

How do I confirm the H330 controller sees all three 1.2 TB drives after first boot?

Enter the controller BIOS during POST or open iDRAC8 to view the physical disk list and verify each 1.2 TB drive shows online.
