Dual Xeon 36-core server with 128GB DDR4

This Dell PowerEdge R730XD system ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2686 V4 processors delivering 36 cores and 72 threads. It includes 128GB of DDR4 memory across four 32GB modules and five 6TB SAS hard drives in a 12-bay 3.5-inch hot-plug chassis. The H730 RAID controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 with a 12Gbps interface.

Suited for dense storage

Organisations needing high core counts and large SAS capacity in a 2U form factor will match this configuration. The four 1GbE ports and six PCIe 3.0 slots provide standard connectivity for network and expansion cards. Buyers who require GPU acceleration or more than 12 drive bays should evaluate alternative hardware.

128GB DDR4 memory across four DIMMs

The installed 128GB uses four 32GB DDR4 modules running up to 2400MT/s depending on processor capability. With 24 total DIMM slots the system can scale to 1536GB when both processor sockets are populated. Confirm the memory speed required by your application before deployment.

Questions about this item

Will the H730 RAID controller recognise my existing 3.5" SATA drives in the hot-plug bays?

Yes, the 12 x 3.5" hot-plug bays accept both SAS and SATA drives and the H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 across them.

How can I confirm the dual Xeon E5-2686 v4 CPUs are delivering 36 cores and 72 threads after installation?

Check the iDRAC8 interface or BIOS POST screen; both will report 36 cores and 72 threads for the paired processors.

Does the shipment include drive trays for the five 6 TB Seagate SAS drives and the 750 W redundant power supplies?

Trays are included with the installed drives and the dual 750 W redundant power supplies are fitted in the chassis.
