Dual 12-core Xeon server for dense storage workloads
The PowerEdge R730xd packs two Xeon E5-2690 v3 processors running at 2.6GHz with 512GB of DDR4 memory installed. Twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays connect through a PERC H730 SAS controller with iDRAC8 Enterprise for remote management. This 2U rack chassis delivers maximum internal capacity for databases and virtualisation clusters.
Suits teams needing high core counts
Buyers who require more than 512GB of RAM should note the 768GB ceiling. Organisations without SAS infrastructure cannot populate the twenty-four bays. Workloads that depend on GPU acceleration are limited to the integrated graphics subsystem. The 1100W redundant power supplies support the configured components only.
PERC H730 SAS controller defines the storage
All twenty-four front bays wire directly to this single controller, so every drive must speak SAS. The controller also sets the RAID levels available for the array. No other storage interface is present in the chassis.

Questions about this item
Does the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis require a specific backplane or cable kit to support the PERC H730 SAS controller?
The PERC H730 RAID controller is already installed and the 24-drive chassis is cabled for SAS connectivity, so no additional backplane or cable kit is needed for the controller to recognise the bays.
Can the two 12-core Xeon E5-2690 v3 processors at 2.6 GHz share the same DDR4 memory pool without any special configuration?
Yes, both CPUs access the single 512 GB DDR4 ECC registered pool through the integrated memory controllers; the system firmware handles NUMA balancing automatically.
After power-on, which iDRAC8 indicator confirms that the server has passed POST and the RAID controller is healthy?
The front-panel LCD will display the iDRAC IP address and a green system-health LED, while the PERC H730 BIOS screen reports all physical drives as optimal.
