Dual 18-core Xeon rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors, each running 18 cores at 2.3 GHz with 3.6 GHz turbo. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and a PERC H730 1 GB RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies, iDRAC8 Enterprise, quad-port networking and rails are included.

Suited for dense storage compute

This server suits teams running databases, virtual desktop infrastructure, data warehouses or high-performance computing nodes that need large local capacity. Twelve 3.5-inch SAS/SATA trays provide the drive bays, while the dual-socket design maxes at two processors and 1.5 TB of memory. Buyers who need more than two sockets, more than twelve 3.5-inch bays or a different memory generation should evaluate other platforms.

Twelve 3.5-inch SAS/SATA trays define capacity

The single specification that decides fit is the twelve 3.5-inch hot-swap trays wired to the H730 controller for SAS and SATA drives. No drives are installed, so the buyer must supply compatible 3.5-inch SAS or SATA disks. If the workload requires a different bay count, a 2.5-inch form factor or a controller without RAID 50/60 support, this chassis will not match.

Questions about this item

What thermal limit appears first when both Xeon E5-2699 v3 CPUs run at full turbo for hours?

The dual 750 W platinum supplies and redundant fan array are designed to keep the chassis within spec under sustained 3.6 GHz turbo loads.

How loud and hot does the 2U chassis get during all-day operation?

Dual 750 W platinum PSUs and hot-swap fans maintain stable temperatures; acoustic output is typical for a 2U rack server under load.

Which drives and cabling must I already have to populate the 12-bay backplane?

Twelve 3.5-inch SAS or SATA drives plus matching data cables are required; the H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60.
