Dell PowerEdge R730xd 12-Bay 2U Server

This Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack-mount server system designed for storage-dense workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors at 2.6GHz and 512GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis supports up to 12 hot-plug 3.5-inch drive bays and includes a PERC H730 SAS controller for RAID management.

Suited for high-capacity storage clusters

Organisations building archival, backup, or software-defined storage nodes will benefit from the 12-bay LFF layout and 768GB maximum memory ceiling. Buyers who need a 1U form factor, GPU compute density, or a different drive interface should evaluate other platforms. The integrated graphics and dual 1100W power supplies support headless operation in standard racks.

12 x 3.5-inch drive bays with PERC H730

The single specification that decides fit is the 12 large-form-factor bays backed by the PERC H730 SAS controller. This combination determines how many spinning disks or SATA SSDs you can attach and which RAID levels are available. Confirm your caddies and backplane match this 12-bay LFF configuration before ordering.

Questions about this item

What rack depth does the 36 x 24 x 10 in chassis require?

The chassis measures 36 inches deep, so the rack must provide at least that much usable depth plus cable clearance at the rear.

Which cables are needed to connect drives to the PERC H730 RAID Controller?

Each drive connects with a SAS cable to the backplane, and the backplane links to the controller using the same SAS interface; SATA drives use the same physical connectors.

When should the 1100W power supplies be replaced?

Replace a unit if the iDRAC8 remote management reports a fault, the front-panel LED shows amber, or the server fails to power on with both supplies seated.
