Silver 2U rack server with 24 front drive bays and bezel

DELL

DELL PowerEdge R730xd 2U rack server 2x Xeon E5-2680 v4 2.4GHz 14-core 512GB DDR4 24x 600GB SAS H730

SKU CH-FWZ6-J2H3X

2U rack server with 24-bay 2.5-inch storage, dual 14-core Xeon 2.4 GHz CPUs, 512 GB DDR4 and H730 RAID controller

  • TypeRack
  • Rack Height2U
  • Redundant Hot-swap PowerYes
  • CPU TypeIntel Xeon
  • CPU Speed2.40 GHz
  • CPU SocketLGA 2011-3

Installed Memory Size 512GB

HDD 24 x 600GB 10K SAS

  • Dual 14-core Xeon processors at 2.4 GHz with 3.3 GHz turbo for heavy compute
  • 512 GB DDR4 ECC memory across 16 slots supports large virtualisation workloads
  • PERC H730 1 GB controller enables RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60
  • 24 SAS drives at 600 GB 10K rpm deliver high-capacity fast storage
  • Quad-port network card with dual 1 GbE and dual 10 Gb SFP+ for flexible connectivity

Dense storage compute node

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd fits 24 SAS drives and two 14-core Xeon processors into a 2U rack chassis with redundant 750 W power supplies. It targets midsize and large enterprises running data-warehouse, e-commerce, VDI, database or HPC data-node workloads. The PERC H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. iDRAC 8 Enterprise provides full remote management.

Suits capacity-heavy workloads

Buyers who need 24 hot-swap 2.5-inch bays, dual-socket Xeon performance and 512 GB of registered ECC DDR4 in a single 2U enclosure will match this configuration. Organisations requiring more than two processor sockets, GPU acceleration or drive interfaces other than SAS and SATA should evaluate other platforms. The quad-port 1 GbE and 10 Gb SFP+ daughter card covers typical rack networking needs.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS chassis

The defining specification is the 24-drive 2.5-inch SAS backplane paired with the H730 RAID controller, which determines both raw capacity ceiling and I/O throughput for the workloads listed above. Sixteen 32 GB modules populate 16 of 24 DIMM slots, leaving room to reach the 1.5 TB memory maximum. Two 750 W platinum supplies deliver redundant power for the fully populated system.

Questions about this item

What SAS speed does the PERC H730 controller support, and how does that affect the 600GB drives?

The controller runs at 12Gb/s SAS, matching the 24 installed 600GB 10K drives so each bay can deliver full 12Gb/s throughput.

What physical mounting hardware comes with the 2U chassis?

Ready Rails and a front bezel are included, so the server can be racked immediately without ordering separate rail kits.

How are the two Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors installed, and what mistake should be avoided?

Both CPUs are pre-installed in the two LGA 2011-3 sockets; the common error is adding a third processor, which the board does not support.
