Dense 24-bay compute node
The Dell PowerEdge R730xd packs 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch bays into a 2U rack frame, giving storage-heavy workloads room to grow without spreading across multiple chassis. Dual Xeon E5-2697 v4 processors deliver 36 total cores at 2.3 GHz, while 192 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory feeds data-intensive applications such as virtualised databases or software-defined storage clusters.
Quiet dual 1100 W supply
Redundant 1100 W power supplies share the load, keeping each unit in its high-efficiency range during typical operation so fan speeds stay low and audible noise remains subdued in a cooled rack aisle. The PERC H730 SAS controller manages up to 24 SATA drives with hardware RAID offload, reducing CPU overhead and letting the system idle at modest power draw while still serving warm data.
Steady throughput under load
When all 36 threads run sustained compute — such as erasure-coding parity or large-scale analytics — the dual-socket topology keeps memory latency predictable across both NUMA nodes. iDRAC8 Enterprise provides out-of-band telemetry so operators can track thermals and throttle policies remotely without interrupting the production workload.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 24 SFF drives into the 2.5-inch bays and which step is often missed?
Slide each drive into a bay until the latch clicks, then verify the PERC H730 RAID controller detects every drive in the BIOS before loading the OS.
What maintenance will the 1100W power supplies need later?
Replace a unit if the iDRAC8 Enterprise license reports a fault LED or if redundant power is lost after a module failure.
What thermal limit appears first when both 18-core Xeon CPUs run at 2.3GHz continuously?
The dual 1100W supplies and chassis fans are rated for the 36-core combined load; sustained full utilisation stays within the designed thermal envelope.
