Dual 22-Core Xeon Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon E5-2699 v4 processors, each running at 2.2 GHz with 22 cores. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules. The system targets organisations running data warehouses, virtual desktop infrastructure, databases or high-performance computing nodes that need dense CPU and memory resources in a compact rack footprint.

12-Bay Storage Upgrade Path

The chassis provides twelve 3.5-inch hot-swap trays driven by a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. This layout replaces servers limited to eight drive bays or older controllers without 12 Gb/s SAS throughput. The jump is worthwhile when workloads demand more spindles for capacity or IOPS, or when a hardware RAID battery-backed cache is required for write-heavy databases.

Pre-Installation Checklist

Verify that your rack can accept a 2U unit and that power distribution can supply two 750 W platinum-efficiency supplies with redundant hot-swap capability. Confirm network infrastructure supports the onboard Intel X520/I350 daughter card delivering two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports. Ensure operating system and hypervisor versions are qualified for the C610 chipset and iDRAC 8 Enterprise remote management features.

Questions about this item

What rack height and rail kit does the R730xd require for mounting?

The server occupies 2U of rack space and includes Ready Rails for installation in a standard rack.

How are the 22-core Xeon E5-2699 v4 processors and 256GB DDR4 memory installed, and what step is often missed?

Both processors are pre-installed in the LGA 2011-3 sockets and the 256GB DDR4 is populated across 8 of 24 slots as 32GB modules; the step often missed is ensuring the memory configuration follows the required channel population order for the dual-processor layout.

Which components in the R730xd will need replacement over time, and what are their specifications?

The system uses two hot-swap 750W Platinum power supplies and a PERC H730 controller with a battery-backed cache; the controller battery and power supply units are the primary field-replaceable items, while the 12 drive trays accept SATA or SAS drives for future storage expansion.
