2U Rack Server with 12 Hot-Plug Bays

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server built for storage density. It carries dual Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 eight-core processors at 2.4GHz and 128GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots. A Perc H730 RAID controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Two 750W redundant power supplies and iDRAC8 remote management complete the platform.

Storage-Focused Teams and Compute-Light Workloads

This server suits organisations that need up to 12 x 3.5-inch hot-plug SAS or SATA drives in a compact rack footprint. The installed 128GB of memory matches the processor-limited maximum, so workloads requiring more RAM cannot be accommodated. Buyers needing GPU acceleration or 10GbE networking as standard should evaluate other options.

128GB DDR4 Memory Ceiling

The two E5-2630 v3 CPUs restrict total memory capacity to 128GB despite the presence of 24 slots and a chipset capable of 1536GB. This hard limit decides whether the system fits the workload; no further expansion is possible without changing processors.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the dual E5-2630 v3 processors and 128GB DDR4 are detected after powering on the R730XD?

Use the iDRAC8 interface or enter the BIOS during boot; both will show the two 8-core Xeon CPUs at 2.4GHz and the full 128GB of DDR4 memory across the 24 DIMM slots.

What ships with the server and what must I purchase separately to have a bootable system?

The unit includes the 2U chassis, dual CPUs, 128GB RAM, H730 RAID controller, two 750W redundant power supplies, DVD drive, power cable and rail kit. You must buy 3.5" SAS or SATA drives and an operating system separately.

Which drive-bay configuration and RAID level should I choose for a balance of capacity and redundancy?

The chassis supports up to 12 x 3.5" hot-plug bays with a 52TB maximum. The H730 controller offers RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60; RAID 6 or 10 are common choices for redundancy with good usable space.
