Dual-socket Xeon rack 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, databases and high-performance computing workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors, each with eight cores at 2.6 GHz and a 3.4 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules.

Hot-swap power and dense storage

Redundant 750-watt platinum-efficiency power supplies support hot-swap replacement without downtime. The chassis holds twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays populated with 300 GB 10 K SAS drives connected through a Dell PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache and battery backup. The controller supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode.

Quad-port networking and remote management

A Dell Intel X520/I350 daughter card provides two 1 GbE ports and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports for flexible network connectivity. iDRAC 8 Enterprise enables full out-of-band remote management including virtual console, power control and hardware monitoring. Ready Rails and a front bezel are included for immediate rack installation.

Questions about this item

How are the 24× 300 GB SAS drives installed in the 2.5" bays, and which step is often missed?

Slide each drive into a hot-swap carrier until the latch clicks, then press the carrier into the bay until the lever locks; the step often missed is fully engaging the carrier lever so the drive connects to the 12 Gb/s backplane.

What maintenance will the PERC H730 controller battery need, and when?

The 1 GB cache battery on the H730 controller typically requires replacement every three to five years; the iDRAC 8 Enterprise console will log a warning when the battery capacity drops below the threshold.

What thermal limit appears first when both Xeon E5-2640 v3 CPUs run at 3.4 GHz turbo under sustained load?

The 2 U chassis relies on dual 750 W platinum power supplies and high-speed fans; under continuous turbo the inlet-temperature limit of 35 °C is reached first, triggering CPU throttling to protect components.
