Dell PowerEdge R730xd 2U 12-bay server

This 2U rack server ships with twelve 3.5-inch drive bays, dual Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3 processors at 2.4 GHz and 256 GB of DDR4 ECC memory. A PERC H730 controller with battery-backed cache manages the twelve 8 TB SATA hard drives. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management are included.

Suited for dense storage workloads

The twelve-bay chassis and large memory capacity fit virtualisation hosts, database nodes and backup targets that need high capacity in a 2U form factor. The system maxes out at two processors and 1.5 TB of RAM, so buyers who need more compute sockets or memory headroom should look at a larger platform.

Twelve 3.5-inch SATA bays with H730 RAID

The backplane provides twelve hot-swap 3.5-inch SATA slots driven by the PERC H730 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. This bay count and controller combination is the deciding factor for deployments that require maximum 3.5-inch drive density in a 2U rack unit.

Questions about this item

How much rack space does this 2U server need and what mounting hardware is included?

The server occupies 2U of rack height and ships with ready rails for installation.

What is the correct order for installing the two Xeon E5-2620 v3 processors and the 256GB DDR4 memory across the 24 slots?

Populate CPU 1 first, then CPU 2, and fill memory slots sequentially per channel starting with the slots closest to each processor.

Which components in this configuration are hot-swappable and which require a full shutdown for replacement?

The 12x 8TB 3.5" SATA drives and the 2x 750W power supplies are hot-swappable; the PERC H730 controller, CPUs, memory and network daughter card require a shutdown.
