Rack server with dual Xeon E5-2620 v3

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for data-intensive workloads such as databases, virtual desktop infrastructure and high-performance computing nodes. Two Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3 processors at 2.4 GHz with 3.2 GHz turbo provide twelve cores across two sockets. The system ships with 128 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory installed across eight slots. A PERC H730 1 GB controller manages up to twelve 3.5-inch SATA or SAS drive trays.

Suits storage-heavy clusters.

This configuration fits organisations that need dense 3.5-inch drive capacity in a 2U form factor with redundant 750 W power supplies and quad-port 1 GbE and 10 Gb SFP+ networking. The dual-processor layout and twenty-four memory slots support expansion to 1.5 TB for large in-memory datasets. iDRAC 8 Enterprise enables remote lifecycle management. Buyers who require a single-socket platform, blade enclosure compatibility or a tower chassis should evaluate other form factors.

Twelve 3.5-inch SATA/SAS trays with H730 RAID

The defining specification is the twelve hot-swap 3.5-inch trays backed by the PERC H730 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. This tray count and controller combination determines whether the server can meet a given raw-capacity or redundancy target without adding external enclosures.

Questions about this item

What PCIe generation and lane count does the PERC H730 controller use, and what throughput does that cap at?

The PERC H730 is a 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller with 1 GB cache, supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through; its 12 Gb/s interface sets the practical ceiling for drive throughput.

What physical rails and rack spacing does the R730xd require for mounting?

Ready Rails sliding rails and a front bezel are included; the server occupies 2U of rack height and fits standard square-hole or round-hole 4-post racks.

How are the CPUs and memory installed, and what step is commonly missed?

Two Xeon E5-2620 v3 processors are pre-installed in the LGA 2011-3 sockets; 128 GB DDR4-2133 registered ECC memory fills 8 of 24 slots — verify the memory configuration matches the processor memory-channel layout for full bandwidth.
