Dell PowerEdge R730xd 2U server

This 2U rack server ships new with dual Intel Xeon E5-2683 v3 processors, each running at 2.0 GHz with 14 cores. It includes 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 16 modules and a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Twelve 3.5-inch hot-swap trays accept SATA or SAS drives, and a quad-port daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections. iDRAC8 Enterprise and redundant 750 W platinum power supplies are fitted.

Suited for dense storage workloads

The chassis fits twelve 3.5-inch drives in 2U, making it a good match for databases, virtual desktop infrastructure or data-warehouse nodes that need high capacity per rack unit. Dual 14-core CPUs and 512 GB of memory also support heavy virtualization. Buyers who need more than twelve drive bays should look elsewhere. Workloads that require GPU acceleration or larger single-thread performance will not be satisfied by this platform.

Twelve 3.5-inch hot-swap bays define capacity

The single specification that decides fit is the twelve-bay 3.5-inch SATA/SAS backplane. If the deployment needs that many large-form-factor drives in a 2U space, this server matches the requirement. If fewer bays or 2.5-inch density are needed, a different chassis would be more efficient.

Questions about this item

What rack depth and rail kit does the 2U R730xd require for mounting?

The server is a 2U rack unit and ships with Dell Ready Rails for standard four-post racks; verify your rack depth matches the rail specification before installation.

What is the correct order for seating the two Xeon E5-2683 v3 processors and the 16 DDR4 DIMMs during initial build?

Install both processors first, then populate the 24 DIMM slots starting with the slots assigned to each CPU; the system arrives with 16 x 32 GB modules pre-installed in the optimal configuration.

How do I replace a failed drive tray or the PERC H730 battery when the array is live?

The 12 front 3.5-inch trays are hot-swap; pull the lever to eject a tray without powering down. The H730 controller battery is also replaceable while the server is running.
