Dual-socket Xeon server for storage-intensive

This Dell PowerEdge R730xd packs two 18-core Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors at 2.3 GHz and 768 GB of DDR4 ECC memory into a 2U rack chassis. A PERC H730 controller manages twelve 6 TB SATA hard drives for high-capacity storage arrays. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise provide redundancy and remote management.

Suited for dense storage workloads

Buyers who need all-flash performance or a different drive protocol should look elsewhere, as the chassis is populated with 7.2 K RPM SATA hard drives. The 24 DIMM slots are fully occupied, so further memory expansion requires replacing modules. Maximum CPU count of two is already reached.

12-bay 3.5-inch drive chassis

The server holds twelve 3.5-inch drives on a PERC H730 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through. This bay count and controller combination determines whether the system fits the planned storage topology.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.3 GHz 18-core Xeon E5-2699 v3 CPUs work with my existing DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC modules?

The server uses DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 slots; installed modules are 32 GB each for a total of 768 GB.

How can I verify the PERC H730 controller and all twelve 6 TB drives are healthy after installation?

Use iDRAC8 Enterprise to view controller firmware, battery status, and each drive's SMART data; the RAID BIOS also reports array state at boot.

Which items arrive in the box and which must I source separately?

Included: chassis, 2× Xeon E5-2699 v3, 768 GB DDR4, H730 1 GB controller, 12× 6 TB 3.5″ SATA HDDs, X520/I350 quad-port card, iDRAC8 Enterprise, 2× 750 W platinum PSUs, ready rails, front bezel.
