Dense 2U rack server for data-intensive workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd fits twelve 3.5-inch drives in a 2U chassis and delivers two 14-core Xeon processors at 2.0 GHz with 512 GB of DDR4 memory. It targets midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure, databases or high-performance computing data nodes.

Upgrade from smaller 2U systems

The jump is worth it when you need twelve hot-swap bays backed by a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, plus dual 10 GbE SFP+ and dual 1 GbE ports on an X520/I350 daughter card. iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management and redundant 750 W platinum power supplies complete the package.

Verify rack depth, rail clearance

Confirm the 2U height matches your cabinet spacing and that the included ready rails suit your rack type. Ensure SFP+ transceivers and fibre or copper patch cables are available for the 10 GbE links, and that your power distribution can feed two IEC C14 inlets. The system ships with a front bezel but no operating system.

Questions about this item

What rack dimensions does the 2U chassis require?

The server occupies 2U of rack height and includes ready rails for a standard 4-post rack.

Which step is often missed when installing the PERC H730 controller?

Connecting the battery backup cable to the controller so that write-back caching stays protected during power loss.

When should the 7.2K 6TB SATA drives be replaced in a RAID 6 array?

Replace any drive that the H730 reports as predictive-failure or that exceeds the workload-rated TBW limit for the array.
