2U 12-Bay Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rackmount server built for storage-dense workloads. It ships with dual Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors, 256GB of DDR4 ECC memory, and twelve 8TB 3.5-inch SATA hard drives managed by a PERC H730 RAID controller with battery backup.

Ideal for Capacity-Focused Deployments

This configuration suits organisations that need high raw capacity in a compact form factor for databases, virtual desktop infrastructure, or data-warehouse nodes. Buyers who require more than twelve drive bays, faster flash-based storage tiers, or support for additional processor sockets should evaluate alternative platforms.

Dual 14-Core Xeon E5-2680 v4 CPUs

Two 2.4GHz 14-core processors deliver 28 total cores with a 3.3GHz turbo frequency, providing the compute foundation for heavily threaded applications. The LGA 2011-3 platform supports up to 1.5TB of DDR4 across 24 slots, so memory can scale well beyond the installed 256GB.

Questions about this item

What rack depth and rail kit are required to mount this 2U server?

The unit is a 2U rack server and ships with Dell Ready Rails for standard four-post racks; verify your rack depth matches the rail specification before installation.

Can the PERC H730 controller manage the twelve installed 8TB SATA drives together with older SAS drives I might add?

The H730 supports mixed SAS and SATA drives across its twelve 3.5-inch bays and offers RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 plus pass-through mode for JBOD configurations.

How do I confirm the iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management is active after first power-on?

Connect the dedicated iDRAC network port, browse to its IP address, and log in with the default credentials; the dashboard will show system health, firmware versions and the Enterprise licence status.
