Dual 16-core Xeon compute density

The PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for midsize and large enterprises that run data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure or high-performance computing workloads. Two Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors deliver 32 total cores at 2.1 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo, backed by 512 GB of DDR4 ECC memory across 16 modules.

24-bay SAS storage and quad-port networking

Twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays hold 600 GB 10K SAS disks on a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Redundant hot-swap 750 W platinum power supplies and a quad-port daughter card providing two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links keep the chassis running and connected without interruption.

Replaces older 2U nodes when core count

This configuration steps up from earlier dual-socket servers that max out at lower core counts or fewer drive bays. The jump is worth it when workloads need 32 threads, 1.5 TB maximum memory headroom and 24 SAS spindles in a single 2U footprint with iDRAC 8 Enterprise management.

Questions about this item

What storage controller standard does the PERC H730 use and what throughput does it support?

The PERC H730 is a 12Gb/s SAS/SATA controller with 1GB cache that supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode.

What rack hardware is included with the 2U R730xd for mounting?

The server ships with Dell Ready Rails and a front bezel for installation in a standard 2U rack space.

How are the two Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors installed and what common step is missed?

Both LGA 2011-3 sockets are populated; the step often missed is applying thermal paste and seating each heatsink evenly before locking the retention lever.
