Rack server with twenty-four 2.5-inch bays

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack system built around dual Intel Xeon E5-2609v3 processors running at 1.9 GHz. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots and a PERC H730 RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. The chassis accepts up to 24 hot-plug SAS or SATA drives for dense local storage. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and iDRAC8 remote management complete the platform for virtualization or database clusters.

Sustained load with redundant power and cooling

Under continuous workloads the dual six-core CPUs and 64 GB DDR4 deliver steady throughput for multi-threaded applications. The H730 controller maintains consistent I/O across large RAID sets without thermal throttling thanks to the 2U airflow design. Redundant 750 W supplies keep the system online if one unit fails, while iDRAC8 monitors temperatures and power draw in real time. The Matrox G200 graphics subsystem consumes minimal power, leaving headroom for compute tasks.

Tool-less drive installation and cabling notes

Drive bays use tool-less carriers so 2.5-inch SAS or SATA disks slide in without screws. The H730 RAID card occupies a dedicated slot, leaving up to six PCIe 3.0 slots free for additional controllers. Memory population follows a 12-slots-per-processor rule; mixing capacities is supported but speeds drop to the lowest common denominator. Rails, bezel, keyboard, mouse and video cable are not included, so plan for separate rack-mount hardware and a console cable for initial iDRAC8 setup.

Questions about this item

How much power do the dual 750W redundant supplies draw when the R730XD runs 24/7 under load?

Each supply is rated at 750W; actual draw depends on the installed drives, add-in cards and workload, so the server will consume only what the components require up to that limit.

Which drives and trays must I supply myself to populate the 24 hot-plug bays?

The chassis accepts 24 x 2.5" SAS or SATA drives; no drives or trays are included, so you need to provide both the drives and compatible 2.5" hot-plug carriers.

Will my existing PCIe 3.0 expansion cards fit the six available slots alongside the dedicated H730 RAID slot?

Yes — the system provides up to six PCIe 3.0 slots plus a separate slot for the H730 controller, so standard PCIe 3.0 cards can be installed without displacing the RAID card.
