2U Rack Server for Data-Intensive Workloads

The PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure, databases and high-performance computing nodes. It delivers dual-processor performance with 24 memory slots and twelve 3.5-inch drive bays in a compact chassis. This system targets organisations that need dense storage and compute in a single rack unit.

Verify Rack Space, Power and Network Before Ordering

Confirm your rack can accommodate a 2U enclosure and that you have redundant hot-swap power circuits for the two 750 Watt platinum supplies. The motherboard uses LGA 2011-3 sockets with an Intel C610 chipset and supports DDR4 registered ECC modules up to 1.5TB across 24 slots. Network connectivity relies on an Intel X520/I350 daughter card providing two 1GbE and two 10Gb SFP+ ports, so ensure your switch has compatible SFP+ transceivers.

Twelve-Bay Storage with Hardware RAID and Remote

The server ships with twelve 6TB 7.2K SATA drives connected to a PERC H730 1GB controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. iDRAC8 Enterprise enables out-of-band remote management for deployment and monitoring without a local console. Ready rails and a front bezel are included for immediate rack installation, freeing internal PCIe slots for additional expansion cards.

Questions about this item

What comes with the server and what must I add myself?

The unit ships with two Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors, 512GB DDR4 memory across 16 modules, a PERC H730 controller with battery, twelve 6TB 3.5" SATA drives, a quad-port X520/I350 network card, iDRAC8 Enterprise, two 750W platinum power supplies, rails and a front bezel. No extra parts are required for basic operation.

Should I choose the 12-bay 3.5" chassis or a different drive-count version?

This specific listing is the 12-bay 3.5" 2U model populated with twelve 6TB 7.2K SATA drives. If your capacity or density needs differ, a different chassis or drive configuration would be required.

What does the 512GB DDR4 figure mean for actual workloads?

512GB DDR4 is installed as 16x 32GB registered ECC modules running at 2133MHz, filling 16 of 24 slots. This supports large virtualisation hosts, in-memory databases or HPC data nodes with room to expand to 1.5TB maximum.
