Dense 2U compute node

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd packs two 18-core Xeon processors at 2.3 GHz with 3.6 GHz turbo into a 2U rack chassis. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 ECC memory across eight 16 GB modules and twenty-four 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives behind a PERC H730 controller. Quad-port networking combines two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links. iDRAC 8 Enterprise and dual 750 W platinum supplies complete the package for database, VDI or HPC data-node roles.

Rail mounting and drive population

Ready Rails let the 2U unit slide into standard square-hole or threaded racks without tools. The twenty-four 2.5-inch bays are front-accessible and hot-swap, so drives can be replaced while the system runs. The PERC H730’s battery-backed cache protects writes during power loss, but the controller must be configured before the array becomes visible to the OS. Memory installs in registered DIMM sets; mixing unbuffered modules will prevent POST.

Sustained throughput with dual platinum supplies

Under continuous load both Xeon CPUs maintain elevated clocks within the 2U thermal envelope, while the 10K SAS spindles deliver steady random IOPS for database or virtualisation workloads. The 750 W platinum supplies share load evenly and each can carry the full system alone, so a single failure does not throttle performance. iDRAC 8 Enterprise monitors temperatures, power draw and drive health in real time, allowing proactive replacement before a component degrades.

Highlights

  • Dual 18-core Xeon processors at 2.3 GHz with 3.6 GHz turbo for heavy compute
  • 128 GB DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory supporting up to 1.5 TB capacity
  • PERC H730 1 GB controller enables RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60
  • 24 hot-swap 1.2 TB 10 K SAS drives deliver high-density storage
  • Quad-port networking with 2× 1 GbE and 2× 10 Gb SFP+ plus iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the PERC H730 controller and all 24 drives are healthy after first boot?

Open the iDRAC8 Enterprise web interface, navigate to the Storage tab, and verify the H730 shows optimal status with all 24 SAS drives reported as Ready and assigned to your chosen RAID level.

Which components are included and which must be sourced separately?

The server ships with two Xeon E5-2699 v3 CPUs, 128 GB DDR4 ECC memory in eight 16 GB modules, 24 x 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives, H730 controller, X520/I350 quad-port network card, iDRAC8 Enterprise, two 750 W PSUs, rails and bezel; only an operating system and any additional memory or drives need to be added.

Should I choose the 128 GB configuration or add more DDR4 up to the 1.5 TB limit?

Start with the installed 128 GB if your workload fits; the 24 DIMM slots allow adding registered ECC DDR4 modules later to reach the 1.5 TB maximum for larger databases or dense virtualization.
