Dual Xeon E5-2640 v3 2U server

This 2U rack system carries two eight-core Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors at 2.6 GHz with 3.4 GHz turbo. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across four 16 GB modules. Twenty-four 400 GB SATA SSDs are installed behind a Dell PERC H730 1 GB RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 8 Enterprise remote management are included.

High-density storage for virtualisation

The 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis suits workloads that need many drives in a compact rack footprint, such as VDI, data warehousing or HPC data nodes. Quad-port networking with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links handles moderate east-west traffic. Buyers who need more than 24 drive bays, larger individual SSDs, or GPU compute density should evaluate other platforms.

PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache

The storage controller determines which RAID levels are available and whether the battery-backed cache can protect in-flight writes during power loss. This unit provides hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. Confirm that the supported RAID set matches the application's resilience requirements before purchase.

Questions about this item

What type of rack does the 2U PowerEdge R730xd fit into?

The server includes Ready Rails and a bezel for mounting in a standard 2U rack opening.

Can the PERC H730 controller use the 24 installed 400GB SATA SSDs together with older SATA drives I might add?

The H730 supports SATA and SAS drives; the 24 bays already hold 400GB SATA SSDs, and any additional SATA drives will connect to the same backplane.

How do I confirm the two Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors and 64GB of DDR4 are recognised after power-on?

During POST the BIOS lists both 8-core CPUs at 2.6GHz and shows 64GB of registered ECC DDR4; iDRAC8 Enterprise also reports the same inventory.
