Dell PowerEdge R730xd 24-Bay Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rackmount server system designed for dense storage workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2697 v3 processors running at 2.6 GHz, each offering 14 cores and 35 MB cache. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730 SAS RAID controller. It supports up to 24 2.5-inch drive bays and features iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management.

Suits storage-focused deployments needing high

This configuration fits organisations building software-defined storage clusters, backup repositories or virtualisation hosts that benefit from 24 front-accessible SAS bays. The dual 14-core CPUs and 256 GB RAM handle moderate compute loads. Buyers who need dedicated GPU acceleration, a tower form factor or more than two processor sockets should evaluate other platforms. The maximum memory capacity is 768 GB across 24 DIMM slots.

24-bay 2.5-inch chassis defines storage scale

The single specification that decides fit is the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis paired with the PERC H730 SAS controller. It dictates the maximum number of drives and the SAS-only interface for installed storage. No drives are included, so capacity and performance depend entirely on the SAS HDDs or SSDs selected. The system includes dual 1100 W power supplies and an Intel I350/X540 quad-port network card with two 10 GbE and two 1 GbE ports.

Questions about this item

What rack depth does the 36-inch deep chassis require?

The chassis measures 36 inches deep, so the rack must provide at least that much usable depth for the server to sit fully inside.

How are the two Xeon E5-2697 v3 processors installed, and what step is often missed?

Both CPU sockets are already populated with the two 2.6 GHz 14-core processors; the step sometimes missed is applying fresh thermal paste and seating the heatsinks evenly before powering on.

When will the PERC H730 RAID controller battery need replacement?

The PERC H730 uses a backup battery for cache protection; plan to replace it every 3 to 5 years or when iDRAC8 reports a degraded battery status.
