DELL PowerEdge R730xd 2U 12-Bay Server

This 2U rack server delivers dual Intel Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors with 18 cores each at 2.3 GHz. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and twelve 8 TB 3.5-inch SATA hard drives. The PERC H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with a 1 GB cache. It targets enterprises running databases, virtualisation or high-performance computing workloads.

Installation uses ready rails

Slide the unit into a standard rack using the included rails and secure the front bezel. Insert the twelve 3.5-inch drives into the front-accessible carriers; they connect to the H730 controller via the backplane. Connect the dual 750 W platinum power supplies and the quad-port network daughter card with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links. Common issues include forgetting to seat the memory modules fully in all 24 slots or mismatching RAID levels across the twelve drives.

Verify rack depth and power before ordering

Ensure your cabinet accommodates a 2U chassis with sufficient rear clearance for cable routing and airflow. Confirm the facility provides two independent circuits for the redundant 750 W supplies. Check that your network infrastructure supports SFP+ transceivers for the 10 Gb ports and that the iDRAC 8 Enterprise remote management interface can reach your management VLAN. The system maxes at 1.5 TB of DDR4 memory if future expansion is planned.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the PERC H730 controller is managing the twelve 8TB drives correctly after installation?

During POST the controller BIOS lists each drive and its RAID state; iDRAC8 Enterprise then shows the virtual disks, drive health, and rebuild progress in its storage dashboard.

Which components are included with the server and which must be sourced separately?

The chassis ships with two Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors, 24 DDR4 DIMMs totalling 768GB, the H730 controller with battery, twelve 8TB 7.2K SATA drives, the X520/I350 quad-port network card, iDRAC8 Enterprise, two 750W power supplies, rails and bezel.

Which memory configuration should I choose if I need to expand beyond the installed 768GB?

The system has 24 slots and supports up to 1.5TB; add registered ECC DDR4 2133MHz modules in matched sets to reach the limit.
