12-bay 3.5-inch rack server for storage-heavy
This Dell PowerEdge R730xd chassis holds up to 12 large-form-factor drives in a 2U rack footprint. A single Xeon E5-2683 v4 processor with 16 cores at 2.1GHz and 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory is already installed. The PERC H730 SAS controller manages RAID across the backplane. Integrated graphics and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management come standard.
Verify rack depth and power before ordering
The unit measures 36 inches deep so confirm your cabinet can accommodate that length plus cable clearance. Two 1100W power supplies are fitted and require matching PDU outlets. Network connectivity includes two 10GbE and two 1GbE ports; ensure your switch uplinks support those speeds. Only one CPU is populated but the socket for a second processor is open if you plan to expand later.
No drives or rail kit are included
Storage drives must be sourced separately and populated in the 12 hot-swap bays. A rail kit is available on request but does not ship by default. Firmware and BIOS are updated to the latest stable release and the system passes full burn-in testing before dispatch. The iDRAC8 Enterprise licence enables full remote console and lifecycle management without extra keys.

Questions about this item
Does the 12-bay 3.5" chassis ship with drives or do I need to buy them separately?
The unit arrives with 12 empty 3.5-inch bays; no drives are installed so you must supply your own SATA or SAS drives.
Should I add a second Xeon E5-2683 v4 or leave the single 2.1GHz 16-core processor?
The board supports two CPUs; add the second E5-2683 v4 only if your workloads need more than 16 cores and 40MB cache.
Will the 256GB DDR4 ECC registered memory run at full speed with one processor installed?
Yes, the 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered RAM operates at its rated speed with the single E5-2683 v4; adding a second CPU would allow expansion up to 768GB total.
