Dell PowerEdge R730xd 2U 12-bay server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server designed for dense storage workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors, each running at 2.0 GHz with 14 cores. The system includes 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 DIMM slots. Twelve 3.5-inch drive bays come populated with 4 TB 7.2 K SATA hard drives.

Suited for storage-heavy workloads.

This server fits organisations running databases, virtual desktop infrastructure or data-warehouse nodes that benefit from high spindle count. The PERC H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with a 1 GB cache. Buyers who require solid-state storage or more than two processor sockets should look at a different platform.

12-bay 3.5-inch chassis with SATA/SAS backplane

The defining specification is the 12-bay 3.5-inch chassis paired with a SATA/SAS backplane and the H730 controller. It determines how many drives you can install and which RAID levels are available. Confirm that your rack provides 2U space and that the 750 W redundant power supplies match your power infrastructure.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 12 3.5-inch drives in the front bays, and which step is often missed?

Slide each drive into a bay until the latch clicks; the step often missed is pressing the release button fully so the carrier locks into the backplane.

What maintenance will the PERC H730 controller's 1 GB cache battery need later?

The battery backs the cache during power loss; plan to replace it when iDRAC 8 reports a degraded or failed battery status.

What thermal limit appears first when both 14-core Xeon E5-2660 v4 CPUs run at 3.2 GHz turbo under sustained load?

The 2U chassis relies on the dual 750 W platinum PSUs and system fans; sustained turbo can hit the CPU thermal throttle point before the power budget is reached.
