Dell PowerEdge R730xd 24SFF Server
The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack-mount server system designed for storage-dense workloads. It ships with a 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis supporting SAS and SATA drives. A single Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 processor running at 2.6GHz and 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory are installed. Remote management is handled by iDRAC8 with an Enterprise licence.
Ideal for storage-heavy deployments
This configuration suits organisations needing high local capacity in a compact rack footprint, such as software-defined storage nodes or backup targets. The 24 drive bays allow large raw arrays under a single PERC H730 controller. Buyers requiring dual-processor compute performance out of the box or pre-installed operating drives should look elsewhere.
Single Xeon E5-2640 v3 with 256GB DDR4
The system includes one eight-core Xeon E5-2640 v3 at 2.6GHz with 20MB cache and 256GB of DDR4 memory across the available slots. A second processor socket remains open for future expansion up to the supported maximum. Memory can be increased to 768GB total if the workload demands it.

Questions about this item
Will the Xeon E5-2640 v3 at 2.6GHz work with my existing DDR4 memory modules?
The server uses DDR4 ECC Registered memory and supports up to 768GB total capacity across its DIMM slots.
How can I verify the PERC H730 RAID controller and iDRAC8 Enterprise are functioning after installation?
During POST the H730 BIOS will list detected drives and the iDRAC8 network settings appear on screen; both can then be managed through the web interface.
Does the 24SFF chassis include drive caddies and rail kit or must they be purchased separately?
The unit ships with two 1100W power supplies and the PERC H730 controller installed; drive caddies and rail kit are not included and must be sourced separately.
