Dual Xeon 18-Core 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors, each delivering 18 cores at 2.3 GHz with 3.6 GHz turbo. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 16 GB modules 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 with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links, rails and bezel complete the package.

12-Bay 3.5" Storage Density

This platform suits organisations that need high core counts and large 3.5-inch drive capacity in a 2U footprint — ideal for databases, virtual desktop infrastructure, data warehousing or HPC data nodes. The twelve hot-swap trays accept SATA or SAS hard drives, and the 24 DIMM slots allow memory expansion up to 1.5 TB. Buyers who require 2.5-inch bay density, single-socket configurations or a 1U chassis should consider other form factors.

PERC H730 RAID Controller

The installed Dell PERC H730 1 GB controller provides 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA connectivity with battery-backed write cache, enabling the full range of RAID levels including pass-through mode. This single component determines both the maximum number of drives the server can address and the data-protection schemes available, so verifying its feature set against your storage topology is the critical step before purchase.

Questions about this item

What rack space and power circuits do I need to install this 2U server with dual 750 W supplies?

The chassis occupies 2U of rack height and includes two hot-swap 750 W platinum power supplies, so you need two available PDU circuits and matching IEC cables.

Can I reuse my existing 3.5" SAS or SATA drives with the PERC H730 controller in this server?

Yes, the twelve 3.5" trays accept SAS or SATA drives and the H730 controller supports both interfaces with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60.

How can I confirm both Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors and all 128 GB of DDR4 memory are detected after first boot?

Open the iDRAC8 Enterprise web interface or enter the system BIOS; both will show two 18-core CPUs at 2.30 GHz and 128 GB across the 24 DIMM slots.
