2U Rack Server with Dual 18-Core Xeon

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rackmount server system designed for midsize and large enterprise workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors, each running at 2.30 GHz with 18 cores and a 3.6 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 512 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across 16 DIMM slots, leaving eight slots open for expansion up to 1.5 TB. A PERC H730 1 GB controller manages the 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch SAS/SATA drive bays.

Virtualisation hosts and storage-heavy nodes

This configuration suits organisations running virtual desktop infrastructure, database clusters, or high-performance computing data nodes that benefit from high core counts and large memory capacity. The quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections for flexible fabric integration. iDRAC 8 Enterprise enables full remote management. Buyers who need more than two processors, GPU compute density, or a smaller 1U footprint should evaluate alternative platforms.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS/SATA front storage

The defining specification is the 24 hot-swap 2.5-inch drive bays wired to a 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA PERC H730 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. This density allows a single 2U chassis to hold a large volume of spinning disks or SSDs for capacity-focused deployments. No drives are included, so the buyer must supply compatible SAS or SATA media. The dual 750 W platinum power supplies and included rails complete the rack-ready package.

Questions about this item

How much heat and power should I expect from the dual Xeon E5-2699 v3 CPUs running continuously in this 2U server?

Two 18-core Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors at 2.3 GHz base and 3.6 GHz turbo are installed; the system includes two 750 W platinum-efficiency hot-swap power supplies for redundant operation.

Which drives and caddies do I need to populate the 24 front bays of this R730xd?

The chassis provides 24 x 2.5-inch SAS/SATA hot-swap trays; you supply 2.5-inch SAS or SATA hard drives or SSDs — no drives are included.

Will my existing PERC H730 RAID arrays import directly if I move them into this server?

The onboard PERC H730 1 GB controller supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 and pass-through; foreign-config import lets you bring in existing virtual disks from another H730 or compatible PERC card.
