Dual-socket Xeon rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rackmount server system powered by two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors, each running at 2.4 GHz with 14 cores. It comes equipped with 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 8 modules and includes a PERC H730 storage controller with battery backup. Twenty-four 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives are pre-installed in the 2.5-inch front bays.

Suited for dense storage workloads

This configuration targets midsize and large enterprise environments running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure, databases or high-performance computing data nodes. The quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections, while iDRAC8 Enterprise enables remote management. Buyers who need more than the installed 256 GB memory capacity or who require a different drive interface should evaluate other options.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS capacity

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis populated with 1.2 TB 10K SAS hard drives, delivering high spindle-count storage density in a 2U form factor. The H730 controller supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and ready rails with bezel complete the package.

Questions about this item

What SAS speed does the PERC H730 controller support and how does that limit the 24 installed drives?

The PERC H730 is a 12Gb/s SAS controller, so all 24 drives run at up to 12Gb/s each.

What rack hardware is included for mounting this 2U server?

Ready Rails sliding rails and a front bezel ship with the system for standard rack mounting.

How are the Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors installed and what common step is missed?

Both CPUs are pre-installed in the two LGA 2011-3 sockets; the step often missed is applying fresh thermal paste if the heatsinks are ever removed.
