Dual-socket 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors. Each CPU provides 12 cores running at 2.5 GHz with a 3.3 GHz turbo frequency. The system ships with 768 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 slots and a PERC H730 1 GB RAID controller. Two 400 GB SATA SSDs are installed in the 24-bay 2.5-inch drive chassis.

Virtualisation and database nodes

This configuration suits environments that need high core counts and large memory capacity for virtualisation, database or high-performance computing workloads. The quad-port network daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections, while iDRAC 8 Enterprise provides remote management. Buyers who require more than 1.5 TB of memory, more than two processors or storage interfaces other than SATA and SAS should evaluate other platforms.

24-bay 2.5-inch drive capacity

The chassis supports up to 24 hot-swap 2.5-inch drives connected to the PERC H730 controller, which handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. This density determines how many drives can be added without external enclosures. Power is supplied by two redundant 750 W platinum units, and the package includes ready rails and a front bezel.

Questions about this item

What rack depth do the included Ready Rails require for this 2U server?

The R730xd is a 2U rack unit that ships with Dell Ready Rails for standard square-hole or threaded-hole cabinets; verify your cabinet’s usable depth before mounting.

Which step is often missed when seating the PERC H730 controller during installation?

The PERC H730 1GB mini card installs in the dedicated internal slot and must be fully seated before the battery module is attached; skipping the battery connection disables write-back cache.

How many DDR4 memory slots remain free for future expansion after the 768GB factory configuration?

The system has 24 DDR4 slots total; 24×32 GB modules are installed for 768 GB, leaving zero slots open — any upgrade requires replacing existing DIMMs up to the 1.5 TB maximum.
