Dual Xeon E5-2609v3 density server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server built around two six-core Intel Xeon E5-2609v3 processors running at 1.9 GHz. It ships with 32 GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots and three 300 GB 15K SAS drives managed by a PERC H330 RAID controller. Dual 750 W hot-swap power supplies and 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch bays make it suited for storage-heavy workloads in space-constrained racks.

Sustained load behaviour

Under continuous demand the dual 1.9 GHz CPUs deliver steady multi-thread throughput without the higher turbo frequencies found on larger E5 v3 models. The 15K SAS spindles maintain consistent random I/O for databases or virtualization hosts, while the H330 controller handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 without a dedicated cache module. Redundant power supplies and hot-swap drive carriers keep the array online during drive or power-module replacement.

SAS/SATA interface limits

The backplane supports up to 24 SAS or SATA drives at 12 Gb/s controller speed, although the installed 6 Gb/s drives operate at their native rate. Maximum raw capacity reaches 52 TB when all bays are populated with large-form-factor drives. PCIe 3.0 expansion slots and the dedicated RAID slot allow additional controllers, while the integrated four-port 1 GbE daughter card provides baseline connectivity without occupying a slot.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the dual E5-2609v3 configuration run with the two 750W redundant supplies under constant load?

The server uses dual 750W redundant power supplies and 24 x 2.5-inch hot-plug drive bays; fan speed scales with inlet temperature and CPU load via iDRAC8 thermal policies.

Which rails or mounting hardware must I already have to install this 2U chassis in a standard rack?

The chassis is a 2U rack form factor measuring 26.8 by 17.44 by 3.4 inches; Dell ready-rails for the R730XD are required for tool-less mounting in a four-post rack.

Will my existing 6Gbps SAS drives work with the H330 controller and the 24-bay backplane?

The H330 supports 12Gbps SAS and is backward compatible with 6Gbps SAS and SATA drives across all 24 hot-plug bays.
