High-density 2U server for compute-intensive

This Dell PowerEdge R730xd packs two 18-core Xeon processors and 512GB of DDR4 memory into a 2U rack chassis. It delivers 24 hot-swap 2.5-inch drive bays backed by a PERC H730 controller with 1GB cache. Dual 750W platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management complete the package.

Suited for dense storage and compute.

This server suits organisations that need high drive counts and strong multi-threaded performance in 2U of rack space. The 24 SAS bays and dual 10Gb SFP+ ports support data-heavy applications such as databases and virtual desktop infrastructure. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or more than two processor sockets should look at other platforms.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS chassis with PERC H730

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch SAS backplane paired with the PERC H730 RAID controller. This combination determines how many drives you can install and which RAID levels are available. Confirm that your workload fits the bay count and SAS interface before purchasing.

Questions about this item

What rack depth and rail type does the 2U PowerEdge R730xd need for mounting?

The server is a 2U rack unit and ships with ready rails for standard 4-post racks; verify your cabinet depth supports the full chassis length before installation.

How are the two Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors and 16 DDR4 DIMMs installed, and what step is often missed?

Both LGA 2011-3 sockets are already populated with the 18-core CPUs and all 24 memory slots are filled with 32 GB registered ECC modules; the step often missed is confirming the memory runs at 2133 MHz in the BIOS after first boot.

Which components in the R730xd are hot-swappable and will need replacement over time?

The 24 x 300 GB 10K SAS drives, the two 750 W platinum power supplies and the PERC H730 controller battery are all hot-swappable and are the parts most likely to require replacement during the server's service life.
