Dual 16-Core Xeon Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for dense storage workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors running at 2.10 GHz with a 3.0 GHz turbo frequency, providing 32 total cores. A full 512 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory occupies 16 of the 24 available DIMM slots, leaving room for expansion up to 1.5 TB. The system includes a PERC H730 1 GB RAID controller and dual 750 W platinum power supplies for redundancy.

High-Density Storage Candidates

This configuration suits buyers who need maximum drive count in a 2U form factor, with 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch bays populated by 300 GB 10K SAS drives. The quad-port network daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links, while iDRAC 8 Enterprise enables full remote management. Teams requiring solid-state latency, fewer but larger spindles, or GPU-accelerated compute should evaluate other platforms.

24-Bay SAS Capacity

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis filled with 300 GB 10K SAS drives behind a 12 Gb/s H730 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. This layout delivers high spindle count and hardware RAID flexibility for database, VDI or HPC data-node roles. Buyers needing a different drive interface, larger individual volumes, or a smaller rack footprint must look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

What rack space and power circuits do I need to install this 2U server?

The system occupies 2U of rack height and includes ready rails for mounting. It ships with two 750 W hot-swap power supplies that provide redundant power, so plan for two separate PDU circuits to maintain redundancy.

Can I keep using my existing 12 Gb/s SAS drives with the PERC H730 controller?

Yes. The PERC H730 1 GB controller supports 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA drives and offers RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 plus pass-through mode, so your current 12 Gb/s SAS disks will work without changes.

How do I verify the iDRAC 8 Enterprise remote management is reachable after first boot?

Connect the dedicated iDRAC network port, power on the server, and watch the LCD panel for the assigned IP address. Then open a browser to that address; the iDRAC 8 Enterprise login page should appear, confirming remote access is active.
