12-Bay 3.5-Inch Rack Server
The Dell PowerEdge R730xd fits twelve 3.5-inch drives in a 2U rack chassis. One Xeon E5-2683 v4 processor runs at 2.1 GHz with sixteen cores and 40 MB cache. 192 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory is installed. A PERC H730 SAS controller manages storage. Dual 1100 W power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management are included.
Storage-Heavy Workloads, Not GPU Compute
This server suits users who need dense local storage with hardware RAID and out-of-band management. It does not suit buyers who need GPU acceleration, more than two processors, or memory beyond 768 GB. The integrated graphics provide only basic display output.
Twelve 3.5-Inch Drive Bays
The twelve-bay chassis is the single spec that decides fit. If your deployment requires fewer bays or 2.5-inch drives, a different chassis will use rack space more efficiently.

Questions about this item
How loud and warm does the server get when both 1100W power supplies run continuously?
The R730xd uses redundant 1100W supplies and iDRAC8 monitoring; fan speed scales with the 16-core Xeon E5-2683 v4 load and the 12-bay 3.5" chassis airflow design.
Which rack-mount hardware must I already have to install this 36 x 24 x 10 in, 40 lb chassis?
A standard 19-inch rack with at least 2U of free space and compatible sliding rails; a rail kit is available on request.
Can the PERC H730 RAID controller manage SATA drives from an older PowerEdge generation?
Yes, the H730 supports SATA and SAS interfaces, so legacy 3.5" SATA drives can be added to the 12-bay backplane and configured in RAID.
