2U rack server with 24 drive bays

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server built for storage-dense workloads. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processor at 1.9GHz and 48GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots. The chassis supports up to 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives and includes a DVD-ROM drive. Dual 750W redundant power supplies are fitted as standard.

Upgrade from single-socket or smaller bays

Moving to this platform adds a second processor socket and 24 drive bays compared with single-socket 1U or 12-bay systems. The jump is worth it when you need RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 across many spindles and the option to scale memory to 1536GB with a second CPU installed. The Perc H730 controller with 1GB cache and 12Gbps SAS bandwidth handles the array workload.

PCIe 3.0 and 1GbE ceiling

The system provides up to six PCIe 3.0 slots plus a dedicated RAID card slot for expansion cards. Networking defaults to a four-port 1GbE daughter card with optional 10GbE upgrades. Remote management runs on iDRAC8 Express with Enterprise and vFlash upgrades available. Video output uses a Matrox G200eR2 chipset.

Questions about this item

What rack depth does the 26.8-inch long 2U chassis require?

The server is 26.8 inches deep, so the rack must provide at least that much usable depth plus clearance for cables and airflow at the rear.

How is the PERC H730 RAID controller installed and what step is often missed?

The H730 occupies the dedicated RAID card slot; the step often missed is connecting its 1 GB cache module and enabling the battery backup in the controller BIOS before creating virtual disks.

When will the 300 GB 15 K SAS drives need replacement?

Plan replacement after 3 to 5 years of continuous operation; monitor SMART attributes via iDRAC8 and swap drives hot-plug without downtime when reallocated sectors or latency spikes appear.
