2U Rack Server with 24 Hot-Plug Bays

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server equipped with dual Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processors running at 1.9 GHz and 128 GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots. It includes a PERC H330 RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60, plus two 750 W redundant hot-swap power supplies and a DVD-ROM drive.

Suited for Dense Local Storage.

This server suits organisations that need up to 24 x 2.5" SAS or SATA drives in a compact 2U chassis with hardware RAID and redundant power. It is less appropriate for workloads that require more than 12 cores per socket, memory beyond 128 GB without a processor upgrade, or integrated 10 GbE networking without an optional daughter card.

Memory Ceiling Set at 128 GB by the Installed CPUs

The installed E5-2609 v3 processors limit the maximum memory capacity to 128 GB despite the platform supporting up to 1536 GB with higher-specification CPUs. Buyers planning to expand RAM must first verify processor compatibility.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the iDRAC8 remote management is responding after first power-on?

Connect the iDRAC8 dedicated network port, browse to its IP address, and log in with the default credentials; the Lifecycle Controller dashboard will show both CPUs, 128 GB DDR4, and the H330 controller.

Which items ship with the server and which must be sourced separately?

The unit includes two E5-2609 v3 CPUs, 128 GB DDR4, H330 RAID controller, two 750 W redundant power supplies, DVD drive, power cable, and 24 empty 2.5" hot-plug bays; rails, bezel, drives, trays, OS, keyboard, mouse, and video cable are not included.

Should I choose the default iDRAC8 Express or upgrade to Enterprise for full remote console and virtual media?

iDRAC8 Express provides basic monitoring and power control; upgrading to Enterprise adds full graphical remote console, virtual media, and 8 GB or 16 GB vFlash media options for OS deployment.
