High-density 2U server with 24 front bays
The Dell PowerEdge R730xd packs 24 2.5-inch drive bays into a 2U rack form factor. A single Intel Xeon E5-2699 v4 running at 2.2 GHz with 22 cores and 55 MB cache is installed. Memory totals 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered RAM across the available slots. The PERC H730 SAS controller and dual 1100 W supplies complete the baseline configuration.
Ideal for storage-heavy workloads
This chassis suits teams that need maximum local disk density for software-defined storage, backup targets or dense virtualization clusters. The 384 GB memory ceiling and single-socket layout limit heavily threaded compute tasks or very large in-memory databases. Buyers who require dual processors from day one or more than 768 GB of RAM should look at a larger platform.
Single Xeon E5-2699 v4 with 22 cores
The installed processor delivers 22 cores at 2.2 GHz with 55 MB cache, defining the compute ceiling for this unit. A second socket is empty and can accept another compatible Xeon to double thread count. Memory can grow to 768 GB using DDR4 modules. The 24-bay backplane and H730 controller determine how many drives you can add.

Questions about this item
How do I confirm the Dell PERC H730 SAS Controller is operating correctly after initial setup?
After powering on the PowerEdge R730xd, open the iDRAC8 Enterprise interface and run the full system diagnostics; a green status on the PERC H730 and all 24 drive bays confirms the RAID controller is working as intended.
Which components ship inside the 24 SFF chassis and which items such as drives or rail kit must be ordered separately?
The server arrives with 1x Xeon E5-2699v4 at 2.2 GHz, 384 GB DDR4 ECC Registered memory, PERC H730 RAID controller, dual 1100 W power supplies and Intel I350/X540 2x 10GbE + 2x 1GbE network card; 2.5" drives and rail kit are not included.
Should I choose the single-processor 384 GB configuration or upgrade to the second CPU socket for the maximum 768 GB capacity?
Select the single Xeon E5-2699v4 with 384 GB if your workloads fit within 22 cores and 384 GB; add the second processor only when you need the full 768 GB ceiling or additional compute threads.
