  • Dual Xeon E5-2609v3 processors deliver 12 cores for multi-threaded workloads
  • 32 GB DDR4 memory supports virtualization and database tasks
  • Three 300 GB 15K SAS drives provide fast sequential access
  • H730 RAID controller enables RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 for data protection
  • Twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug bays allow storage expansion up to 52 TB

Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD fits twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug bays into a 2U rack frame. Dual Xeon E5-2609v3 processors and 32 GB of DDR4 memory provide a balanced compute base for storage-heavy workloads. Three 300 GB 15 K SAS drives and a PERC H730 RAID controller arrive pre-configured. Buyers needing higher core counts or GPU acceleration should look elsewhere.

Dual 750 W redundant supplies

Redundant hot-swap power modules share the load and allow one unit to fail without downtime. The 2U chassis uses front-to-rear airflow across the drive bays and CPU heatsinks. Fan speeds scale with inlet temperature and drive activity. Acoustic output is typical for a rackmount server in a cooled data-centre aisle.

iDRAC8 remote management

The integrated iDRAC8 Express provides out-of-band console, power control and hardware health monitoring over a dedicated network port. Lifecycle Controller automates firmware updates and OS deployment without media. The H730 controller adds 1 GB cache and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across all twelve bays. An optical DVD drive is included for legacy installs.

Questions about this item

How do I install additional DDR4 memory modules in the 24 DIMM slots, and which step is often missed?

Populate slots evenly across the 12 channels per processor, matching identical capacities per channel; the step often missed is balancing each CPU's 12 slots so memory runs at up to 2400MT/s.

What maintenance will the three 300GB 15K SAS drives and H730 controller need over time?

Monitor SMART data via the H730 for reallocated sectors on the 15K SAS drives; replace any drive that exceeds the controller's error threshold to keep RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 healthy.

What is the first limit reached under sustained load with the dual E5-2609v3 CPUs and 750W redundant power supplies?

The 1.9GHz six-core CPUs hit thermal throttling before the 750W redundant supplies reach capacity, so sustained compute throughput is capped by processor cooling headroom.
