Built for dense storage workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server designed for midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure, databases and high-performance computing data nodes. It ships with twelve 8TB 7.2K SATA hard drives providing high capacity in a compact form factor. The system targets organisations that need substantial local storage alongside compute power.

Dual 750 W platinum supplies handle peak load

Two hot-swap 750 W platinum power supplies deliver redundant power for the dual 14-core Xeon processors, 256GB of DDR4 memory and the full complement of twelve drives. The PERC H730 controller with 1GB cache manages RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through, offloading parity calculations from the CPUs. iDRAC 8 Enterprise provides remote monitoring and management without adding to the thermal budget.

Twelve 3.5-inch bays fill the front panel

The 2U chassis uses all twelve front bays for the installed 8TB drives, leaving no internal 3.5-inch slots for expansion. The quad-port network daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections for flexible fabric attachment. Twenty-four DDR4 slots hold the current 8x 32GB configuration with room to grow toward the 1.5TB maximum. Ready Rails and a front bezel are included for immediate rack integration.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 12x 8TB 3.5" drives and the Dell PERC H730 controller, and what step is often missed?

Slide each 3.5" drive into the front hot-swap bays until the latch clicks, then seat the H730 mini card in the dedicated internal slot and attach its battery pack; the step often missed is connecting the battery cable before closing the chassis.

What maintenance will the 256GB DDR4 2400MHz Registered ECC memory and the H730 battery require later?

The 8x 32GB DDR4 modules are sealed and need no routine service; the H730 battery is a consumable that typically lasts several years and should be replaced when iDRAC reports a degraded state.

What limit appears first when the 2x Xeon E5-2660 v4 14-core CPUs run sustained workloads?

The 2.0 GHz base frequency is the first ceiling; under continuous load the processors hold 2.0 GHz rather than the 3.2 GHz turbo, so sustained throughput is capped at the base clock.
