Built for dense storage workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server designed for midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure, databases or high-performance computing data nodes. It fits environments that need many drive bays and dual-processor compute in a compact rack footprint. Buyers who need fewer than 24 drive bays or a tower form factor should look elsewhere.

Tool-less rails and hot-swap trays simplify

Ready Rails and a front bezel are included for quick rack mounting. The 24 hot-swap 2.5-inch SAS/SATA trays and redundant hot-swap 750-watt power supplies allow drive and power maintenance without downtime. The PERC H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through. Missing drive carriers or mismatched cabling are the most common installation issues.

Dual Xeons and large memory sustain heavy throughput

Two Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors run at 2.60 GHz with 3.4 GHz turbo across 16 total cores, backed by 128 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory in eight 16 GB modules. The C610 chipset and 24 DIMM slots allow expansion to 1.5 TB. Quad-port networking with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links feeds data to the storage controller under continuous load. iDRAC 8 Enterprise provides remote monitoring during sustained operations.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the PERC H730 controller is operating correctly after installing drives?

During POST the H730 BIOS will display the controller firmware version and list each detected drive with its capacity and RAID status; the iDRAC8 Enterprise web interface then shows a green health icon for the controller and all physical disks.

Which components are included and which must be purchased separately?

The server ships with two E5-2640 v3 CPUs, eight 16 GB DDR4 RDIMMs, H730 1 GB controller with battery, X520/I350 quad-port NIC, two 750 W PSUs, 24 drive trays, bezel and rails; no 2.5" SAS or SATA drives are included.

Which memory configuration should I choose for this 24-slot system?

The unit already contains 128 GB across eight 16 GB DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC modules; add matching 16 GB RDIMMs in multiples of eight to keep channel balance up to the 1.5 TB maximum.
