Dell PowerEdge R730xd 12-bay server
The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack-mount server built around two Intel Xeon E5-2699 v4 processors running at 2.2 GHz with 22 cores each and 55 MB cache. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory installed and supports up to 768 GB total. The chassis provides twelve 3.5-inch drive bays driven by a PERC H730 SAS controller with SATA support. Integrated graphics and an iDRAC8 Enterprise licence handle local and remote management.
Ideal for dense storage workloads
This configuration suits organisations that need high core counts and large memory capacity behind twelve hot-plug drive bays for software-defined storage, backup targets or archival workloads. Buyers who need more than twelve front-access bays or who require a different backplane protocol should look elsewhere. Systems needing GPU acceleration or single-thread frequency above 2.2 GHz are not addressed by this platform.
Twelve 3.5-inch drive bays
The defining specification is the twelve 3.5-inch front drive bays connected to the PERC H730 controller. This bay count and form factor determine whether the server fits the planned storage density and drive procurement strategy. If the deployment requires a different number of bays, a 2.5-inch form factor, or a controller without SAS connectivity, this chassis will not meet the requirement.

Questions about this item
What rack depth and width does the 36 x 24 inch chassis need?
The chassis is 36 inches deep and 24 inches wide, so the rack must provide at least that depth and width for the unit to sit securely.
How are the two Xeon E5-2699 v4 processors and 512GB DDR4 memory installed, and what step is often missed?
Both processors are already seated in the two sockets and the 512GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory is populated across the slots; the step often missed is applying the firmware updates that the supplier performs before shipping.
Which drive components will need replacement when adding storage to the 12-bay 3.5-inch chassis?
You will need to supply 3.5-inch SATA drives and the PERC H730 RAID controller will manage them; the drives themselves are the parts that will eventually wear out and require replacement.
