Dual Xeon 20-core rack server

This Dell PowerEdge R730xd arrives as a 2U rack-mount system with two Intel Xeon E5-2698 v4 processors running at 2.2 GHz. Each CPU provides 20 cores and 50 MB of cache, giving 40 threads for virtualisation or database workloads. The chassis holds up to twelve 3.5-inch drive bays and ships without any drives installed. Integrated graphics and an iDRAC8 Enterprise licence handle remote management out of the box.

Suited for high-thread compute and dense storage

The configuration suits teams that need maximum core count in a 2U form factor and plan to populate the twelve SATA/SAS bays with their own drives. The PERC H730 controller supports RAID across all bays and memory can grow from 128 GB DDR4 ECC to 768 GB. Buyers who need a smaller 1U footprint or more than two sockets should evaluate other platforms. The integrated graphics are not intended for GPU-accelerated workloads.

Twelve 3.5-inch drive bays with PERC H730 RAID

The single specification that decides fit is the twelve-bay 3.5-inch chassis paired with the PERC H730 SAS controller. It determines how many drives you can install and which RAID levels are available. Power is supplied by two 1100 W units and networking includes two 10 GbE plus two 1 GbE ports. Confirm rack depth and drive selection against these fixed chassis limits before ordering.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 12 LFF chassis or a smaller bay count?

The 12 LFF chassis gives twelve 3.5" drive bays, so choose it when you need maximum internal capacity in a 2U rack server.

What does the 2.2 GHz figure mean once the server is running workloads?

Each of the two Xeon E5-2698 v4 CPUs runs at 2.2 GHz base clock across 20 cores, delivering 40 threads for parallel tasks.

What does the PERC H730 SAS controller cap in practice?

The PERC H730 SAS controller manages RAID across SATA drives and supports up to 12 internal 3.5" devices in this chassis.
