Dual-socket 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors running at 2.5 GHz, each providing 12 cores. It arrives with 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory installed across 16 DIMM slots. The system supports up to 1.5 TB of total memory across 24 slots. A PERC H730 1 GB storage controller manages up to twelve 3.5-inch SATA or SAS drive trays, which are included empty. Dual 750-watt redundant power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management are standard.

Storage-dense compute for virtualisation

This server suits organisations that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a compact chassis for virtualisation hosts, database nodes or HPC data tiers. The twelve 3.5-inch bays provide ample spindle capacity for capacity-oriented workloads. Buyers who require more than two processor sockets or a larger 2.5-inch bay count should consider other platforms. The fixed two-socket limit and 3.5-inch form factor also rule out builds needing dense flash-only configurations.

PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache

The PERC H730 controller supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode, backed by a 1 GB battery-backed cache. This single component determines the storage performance and data-protection options available for the twelve drive bays. Confirm that the supported RAID modes and cache size match your application requirements before purchase.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 16 DDR4 32GB modules into the 24 slots, and which step do people often get wrong?

Populate all 12 slots per CPU in identical order; the common error is leaving gaps or mixing capacities, which disables quad-channel operation.

What maintenance will the PERC H730 1GB controller cache battery need later?

The battery backs the 1GB cache; plan to replace it when iDRAC 8 Enterprise reports a degraded state, typically after several years of continuous use.

At what point does the 2.5 GHz base clock limit sustained throughput before the 3.3 GHz turbo can recover?

Under continuous all-core load the processors hold 2.5 GHz; turbo only engages when thermal headroom exists, so sustained work settles at the base frequency.
