Dual 18-core Xeon server for dense storage

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack system built around two Intel Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors, each running at 2.3 GHz with 18 cores and 3.6 GHz turbo. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and a PERC H730 controller driving 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch bays. Two 400 GB SATA SSDs and dual 750 W platinum power supplies are included.

Suits virtualisation hosts and data-node clusters

This configuration fits organisations running virtual desktop infrastructure, database nodes or HPC storage tiers that benefit from high core counts and large memory capacity in a compact chassis. The quad-port 1 GbE and 10 Gb SFP+ network card supports mixed traffic without extra adapters. Buyers who need more than 24 drive bays, GPU acceleration or single-thread optimisation should evaluate other platforms.

24-bay 2.5-inch chassis with H730 RAID

The defining constraint is the 24-bay 2.5-inch backplane paired with the PERC H730 1 GB controller, which supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through. This combination determines how many drives you can populate and which RAID levels are available for your workload.

Questions about this item

What rack depth and rail kit does the R730xd 2U server require?

The server occupies 2U of rack height and ships with Dell Ready Rails for tool-less mounting in standard four-post racks.

How do I install the 24 DDR4 DIMMs across the two Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors?

Populate all 24 slots evenly, 12 per CPU, using the 32 GB registered ECC modules already installed for 768 GB total.

When should I replace the PERC H730 RAID controller battery?

The H730 includes a 1 GB cache battery; plan replacement when iDRAC 8 Enterprise reports a degraded or failed battery status.
