  • Dual 750 W platinum PSUs and iDRAC 8 Enterprise ensure resilient remote management

Dense 2U compute and storage

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for workloads that need both processor density and local drive capacity. Two 14-core Xeon E5-2660 v4 CPUs at 2.0 GHz provide 28 cores total, while 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory fills all 24 DIMM slots. Twenty-four front-accessible 2.5-inch bays hold 300 GB 10K SAS drives managed by a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache and battery-backed write cache.

Virtualisation hosts and database nodes

This configuration suits teams running virtual desktop infrastructure, database clusters or high-performance computing data nodes that benefit from many cores and fast local spindles. The dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 8 Enterprise remote management simplify operations in lights-out racks. Buyers who need solid-state latency or more than 300 GB per drive bay should look elsewhere because the installed drives are 10K SAS hard disks and the controller does not support faster flash protocols.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS backplane

The single specification that decides fit is the 24-bay 2.5-inch SAS backplane paired with the PERC H730 RAID controller. It determines how many drives you can install, which drive interface is supported and which RAID levels are available. If your chassis, cabling or storage protocol requirements differ, this server will not match the deployment.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the PERC H730 controller sees all 24 drives and the RAID array is healthy?

Open the controller BIOS at boot or log into iDRAC 8 Enterprise and check the Virtual Disks and Physical Disks sections; all 24 x 300 GB SAS drives should report Ready and the array status should show Optimal.

What ships with the server and what must I source separately?

The unit includes 2 x Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors, 768 GB DDR4 (24 x 32 GB), 24 x 300 GB 10K SAS drives, H730 1 GB controller, X520/I350 quad-port card, iDRAC 8 Enterprise, 2 x 750 W PSUs, rails and bezel; you only need to add an OS and SFP+ transceivers for 10 GbE links.

Which memory configuration should I choose for this 24-slot system?

All 24 slots are already populated with 32 GB DDR4 2400 MHz RDIMMs for 768 GB total; the board supports up to 1.5 TB, so only add modules if your application needs more than the installed capacity.
