Dual 14-core Xeon rack server

The PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack system built around two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v3 processors, each running at 2.0 GHz with 14 cores. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory and a PERC H730 hardware RAID controller.

Suits dense storage workloads.

This platform targets buyers who need 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch SAS drive bays and dual 10 Gb SFP+ networking in a compact rack footprint. It is less suitable for workloads that rely on GPU acceleration or large memory footprints beyond the installed capacity.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS chassis decides fit

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch SAS backplane paired with the H730 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Buyers whose storage design requires a different drive count, form factor or interface should evaluate other platforms.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 24 1.2TB SAS drives into the 2U rack server, and what step is commonly missed?

Slide each 2.5" drive into the front hot-swap bays until the latch clicks; the step often missed is creating the virtual disks in the PERC H730 BIOS before the OS sees any storage.

What maintenance will the PERC H730 controller and its battery-backed cache require later?

The H730's 1GB cache uses a replaceable battery module; plan to swap it every 3–5 years or when iDRAC 8 reports a degraded cache state.

What thermal or power limit appears first when both 14-core Xeon E5-2683 v3 CPUs run at 3.0GHz turbo under sustained load?

The dual 750W platinum PSUs and 2U airflow design set the ceiling; sustained 3.0GHz turbo on all 28 cores will hit the power budget before thermals throttle.
