Dual Xeon E5-2680 v3 Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure and high-performance computing workloads. Dual 12-core processors and 256GB of registered ECC DDR4 memory deliver the multi-threaded throughput these tasks demand.

Upgrade from Single-Socket or Smaller Memory

Moving from a single-socket system or a configuration with fewer than 24 DIMM slots unlocks the full 1.5TB memory ceiling and doubles thread count. The jump is worth it when workloads saturate current cores or exceed installed RAM, forcing swap or node sprawl.

12-Bay Storage and Quad-Port Networking

Twelve 3.5-inch bays host the included 6TB SATA drives behind a PERC H730 controller with 1GB cache supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. An Intel X520/I350 daughter card adds two 1GbE and two 10Gb SFP+ ports, while dual 750W platinum supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise handle power redundancy and remote management. Rails and bezel are included.

Questions about this item

Will the 2U rails included with the R730xd mount in my standard rack?

Ready Rails are supplied with the server and are designed for standard 2U rack mounting.

What is the correct order for installing the two Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors and the 256GB DDR4 memory?

Install both processors first, then populate the 24 DIMM slots starting with the slots assigned to CPU1, balancing channels evenly across both CPUs.

When will the PERC H730 controller battery need replacement?

The RAID controller battery typically lasts several years; iDRAC8 Enterprise will alert you when the battery health drops below the replacement threshold.
