Rack server with dual Xeon E5-2660 v4

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack-mount server fitted with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors running at 2.0 GHz with 14 cores each. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 8 modules and a PERC H730 storage controller with 1 GB cache. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management are included.

Suits virtualisation and storage-heavy workloads

This configuration targets midsize and large enterprises running virtual desktop infrastructure, databases, data-warehouse nodes or high-performance computing storage tiers. The 12 front-accessible 3.5-inch SAS/SATA trays and quad-port 1/10 GbE networking support dense local storage and fast fabric connectivity. Buyers who need GPU compute sleds, more than two sockets or pre-populated drives should evaluate other platforms.

12-bay 3.5-inch SAS/SATA drive capacity

The chassis provides 12 hot-swap trays for 3.5-inch SAS or SATA hard drives with no drives installed. Maximum memory capacity reaches 1.5 TB across 24 DDR4 slots, while the H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. This bay count and controller combination determines whether the system fits the intended storage topology.

Questions about this item

Do I need to supply my own 3.5" SAS or SATA hard drives for the 12 drive trays?

Yes, the server includes 12 empty 3.5" trays that accept SAS or SATA hard drives; no drives are installed from the factory.

Will my existing PERC H730 RAID configuration import automatically if I move the drives into this unit?

The PERC H730 1GB controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through, so foreign configurations can be imported during boot.

How can I verify the two Xeon E5-2660 v4 CPUs and 128GB DDR4 are detected correctly after first power-on?

Check the iDRAC8 Enterprise System Inventory or the BIOS POST screen; both will list 2 processors, 28 total cores, and 128GB memory.
