Dell PowerEdge R730xd 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for dense storage workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3 12-core processors running at 2.5 GHz with a 3.3 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across eight 16 GB modules. A Dell PERC H730 1 GB RAID controller manages up to twelve 3.5-inch SATA or SAS drive trays.

Suits storage-heavy virtualisation

This server fits organisations running virtual desktop infrastructure, data warehouses or e-commerce databases that need high local capacity. The twelve-bay chassis and dual 10 Gb SFP+ ports support throughput-intensive tasks. Buyers who need more than two processors, memory beyond 1.5 TB or drive bays beyond the twelve 3.5-inch trays should evaluate larger platforms. Workloads requiring GPU acceleration or single-thread speeds above the provided turbo frequency are not addressed by this configuration.

Dual Xeon E5-2680 v3 with 128 GB DDR4

The pair of 12-core Xeon E5-2680 v3 CPUs and the installed 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory define the compute ceiling for this unit. Twenty-four DIMM slots allow expansion to the 1.5 TB maximum using compatible DDR4 modules. The LGA 2011-3 socket and Intel C610 chipset lock the platform to this processor generation, so future CPU upgrades stay within the same family.

Questions about this item

How much DDR4 memory can the R730xd hold before I hit the limit?

The system supports up to 1.5TB of DDR4 across 24 slots, and 128GB is already installed.

What are the thermal and power characteristics when the server runs continuously?

Two 750W Platinum power supplies provide redundant hot-swap power for sustained operation.

Which drives and cabling do I need to add so the 12 bays become usable storage?

The 12 front 3.5-inch trays accept SATA or SAS hard drives; no drives are included.
